  • good design;

Hello!
It depends on how many people are traveling. For family trips, you can rent a multi-seater car or van or minivan. We have tried all three options with our family and it was comfortable to travel in each of them. As for the company in which you can rent, we have been choosing Budget for several years. You can check out the rental24h.com website, there is a large selection of cars and you will definitely find something suitable for a family trip
