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 separate trunk offers better security
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 toll tickets, rest
areas, food and gas stops all being very similar but hill villages will require skill with
the clutch in standard shift vehicles.
Familiarity with the International Driving Symbols would help. A map legend will have
explanations of the various symbols and road sign logos.
