We get a lot of questions about car sizes, so here is some information that may be helpful to you when planning your next vacation in Europe. The cars you see on our website may not be as large as you are used to here in America. There are a couple of reasons for this. The first reason is that the streets in Europe are very small compared to our roads. In many European cities the roads were designed with horses and pedestrians in mind. These tiny streets and roads are barely large enough for two lanes, so having the smallest car possible is always advisable. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not impossible to drive a minivan if you need to. But in cases where there are only two passengers, having an economy or compact car will usually work out great.

The second reason a smaller car might not be a bad idea is due to the cost of fuel. While steps have been taken to already be more fuel efficient, Europe has some rather high gas prices. Use internet resources to find out average prices. This will at least give you an idea of what to expect on your next vacation in Europe.
