Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Waterloo?

Accepted Answer

Waterloo is big. You could hang out for a week in this place and hardly scratch the surface. If you want to soak up as much as possible in this busy metropolis, a rental car is a must. Keep in mind that city driving generally comes with tight streets and even tighter parking spots. Don't stress though, because a small car like a compact will make this much easier to manage. If you're aiming to leave the city behind and cruise around the prairies that Waterloo is known for, you'll probably prefer a vehicle with more cargo space. A full-size or mid-size SUV will get you around comfortably.

Should I get a luxury rental car in Waterloo?

You'll be pleased to hear that there's a wide variety of luxurious rentals in Waterloo. What you end up going for depends on how much you want to spend and what you're hoping to do. Prestige vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about comfort and class. If you feel like splashing out, why not go for an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a cushy medium-sized vehicle? Alternatively, if you're just after a car to whiz around town in as cheaply as possible, stick with a versatile compact vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).
