That gives your group proper boot space without paying for a larger class. A Compact car like a Nissan Versa saves £1 a day at £64 but takes only 3 bags, so a full car leaves luggage on seats, while a Fullsize car like a Chevrolet Malibu costs £78 a day. Every car offered is an automatic, so you do not need to pay extra or search around to avoid a manual gearbox.
