Should I get a luxury rental car in Venice?

Accepted Answer

You'll be glad to know that there's a great range of both economy and high-end rental vehicles available in Venice. What you go for depends on how much you want to spend and what you plan to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles are all about comfort and class. If you're splurging, why not grab a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a stylish medium-sized sedan? Otherwise, if you just need something to get you from A to B as economically as possible, you're better off choosing a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that won't break the bank).
