Car Rental, Luggage
Space
When shopping for a rental
car, you should consider
your need for luggage
space when determining
size of the vehicle. Some
agencies suggest the
number of bags that each
model can carry.
A trunk separated from the
passenger compartment
will help conceal luggage
when you park.
Shop on line well ahead
of your trip.
Another important
consideration will be your
ability to drive a standard
shift vehicle. You will find
Highway driving is just like
highway travel in the US

with the clutch in standard
shift vehicles.
Familiarity with the

map legend will have
explanations of the various
symbols and road sign
logos.
