To choose the correct car to rent you have to consider the number of passengers that will be on it, the amount of luggage and of course the price. Think carefully which car applies your needs best. If you travel with children or with many luggages the right car for you is a large sedan. If you're simply looking to save money on rental rates and gas, you'll want to reserve the smallest available model. In case that you cannot choose yourselves just contact us and be sure that our rental agents will reserve for you the ideal car at the right price.
In general our company provides renters with the car that they reserve. If now that is not possible for some reason Go Rent a Car is obliged to deliver a similar type and engine sized car or even bigger without any extra cost (in case that renter picks up a larger car than the one reserved).
