Which car should I pick?

It seats 5 but takes 3 bags, so a full car means soft bags on laps. A couple can save a little with a Mini, a Fiat Mobi, at $37 a day, though it takes 1 bag. An Intermediate, the Fiat Pulse size, takes 4 bags and is $89 a day. 55% of rental cars at Salvador Airport are automatic, at $58 a day against $45 for a manual, so tick automatic when you search rather than assuming.
