When it comes to choosing from Gilroy car rentals, we recommend renting a car that is suitable for both city and rural driving. The ideal car for this area should be comfortable and spacious enough to handle long drives, while also being efficient enough to maneuver through city traffic and fit into tight parking spots. Therefore, we suggest choosing an intermediate SUV as it is versatile enough to handle different terrains such as hills, uneven roads, and unpaved surfaces, while also being fuel-efficient for city driving.
