Questions about choosing a car type
For couples an economy or compact car is enough; families usually prefer a compact or midsize SUV for hill roads and luggage; groups of seven or more need a 7-seater, 8-seater or passenger van.
No – you book a car group and the model is "or similar". The examples on each page show the cars you are most likely to get.
