Small Cars

A small car is a compact car that is smaller than a mid-size car. Small cars are often more fuel-efficient and have lower emissions than larger cars, making them a more environmentally friendly option. Because they are cheaper in maintenance and insurance, the are also cheaper for renting.

Small cars usually have seats for up four people, and the can fit up to two small luggage. They are ideal for a company of three persons, or a couple. If you have a large family or you have to carry many things (i.e. having a small baby) it is best for you to choose a mid-size car.

Car models that fall into this category and usually rented by a car rental company are:

  • Nissan Micra
  • Fiat Panda
  • Citroen C1

Mid-Size Cars

A mid-size car is a car that is larger than a small car but smaller than a full-size car. Mid-size cars often have more space and better fuel economy than full-size cars.

Mid-size cars usually have five seats have enough trunk space for two suitcases and one small ones. Mid size cars are ideal for three or four person families, or for those to have a more comfortable trip.

Car models that fall into this category and usually rented by a car rental company are:

  • Toyota Yaris
  • Citroen C2 or C3
  • Peugeot 208
  • VW Polo

Large Cars

A large car is a car that is larger than a mid-size car. Full-size cars often have more space both for passengers and luggage. They also have more powerful engines and consume more fuel than smaller cars.

Largecars have five seats but some car models can seat up to seven people. There is plenty of space for luggage in the trunk, making them ideal for long trips or for those who need to carry a lot of things with them. It is the best solution for 5 person families.

The downsize for full large cars as that they consume more fuel, therefore a good solution would be to look for a diesel car. The other con in large cars is that looking for parking is harder, especially in the city of Rhodes, and especially in high season.

Car models that fall into this category and usually rented by a car rental company are:

  • Toyota Auris
  • Toyota Corolla
  • Fiat Typo
  • Audi A3 – A4

Vans and Minivans

A van or a minivan is a car that is larger than a large car. Vans and minivans often have more space for both passengers and luggage, as well as more powerful engines.

Vans and minivans usually have seven or more seats, making them ideal for larger families or groups of friends. They also have plenty of space for luggage, making them ideal for long trips or for those who need to carry a lot of things with them.

The downside of vans and minivans is that they consume more fuel, therefore a good solution would be also to look for a diesel car. As in large cars, the other downsize in vans and minivans is that looking for parking is harder, especially in the city of Rhodes, and especially in high season.

Car models that fall into this category and usually rented by a car rental company are:

  • VW Transporter or Caddy
  • Mercedes Vito
  • Fiat Doblo

SUV’s

An SUV is a car that can operate on both off-road and on-road conditions. SUV’s often have four-wheel drive, making them ideal for those who want to explore the island of Rhodes.

They are considered a more luxury option and are an ideal choice for anyone who has money to spare for a very comfortable commute.

Because most cabrio cars have 2 doors, they are more suitable for couples and friends!
