Opt for a car that is compact or mid-size, as it will be easier to navigate through the streets of Dunkirk and fit into parking spaces, which can be limited in some areas. A smaller car also provides better manoeuvrability in crowded city centres. At the same time, you should consider the number of passengers and the amount of luggage you'll have. Ensure the car provides sufficient seating and cargo space to ensure a comfortable journey.
