Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Watford?

Accepted Answer

Sure, you can explore Watford without renting a vehicle. But with so much to see and do here, having one would make life easier. If you're eager to get out of town and into Mother Nature, pick a rental car with a bit of power. A larger car like an SUV will get you to the area's rocky coastlines in style and comfort. Rather spend the majority of your time right in the city? A smaller car like a mini or compact is the way to go. Driving through narrow lanes and squeezing into tight parking spaces will be a cinch with one of these.

Flashy or thrifty? Whatever you decide, there's a rental car to suit your style in Watford.
