At Providence Airport, start with an Intermediate car such as a Volkswagen Jetta for luggage space, averaging £43 a day for November 2026 when booked around a month before your trip. An Intermediate seats 5 but takes 4 bags; if you have no more than 3 bags, a Compact car such as a Nissan Versa averages £42 a day for the same month and booking window. A Fullsize car such as a Chevrolet Malibu averages £54 a day, but its 6 seats still come with space for only 4 bags, so check luggage capacity before upgrading. Over the last 12 months, 100% of cars offered are automatic, so you do not need to pay for an upgrade to get one. Neither electric nor hybrid cars are offered, so do not plan this hire around choosing either.
