Ideal car for your vacation in Fuengirola
Since there's nothing extreme in terms of terrain at one of the coast's top resorts, the main thing to look out for when choosing a rental car is the comfort and the people you're travelling with.
An economy car is good for one to three people. You will save on rent and petrol and park more easily.
Keep in mind that a compact car has a small boot. Before renting a car, make sure to compare the size of the boot and your luggage.
A mid-size car or a luxury car would be great for a group of 4-5 people.
The comfortable crossover is good for those who plan a trip to the mountains.
A large group of people traveling together can rent a minivan.
