Contrary to other’s perspectives, size does matter. Apart from the cost, big cars are not easy to maneuver.

Buy Insurance

Rental car insurance matters. You can be sure that damages in case of an accident will be handled if you have insurance. In case you need to take out insurance, the company will ask you to do so.
