Renting a car provides freedom and convenience, but choosing the right class is key to your comfort and budget. Different trips require different types of cars—there is no universal solution. In this article, we will help you decide which option is best suited to your needs.
1. Compact cars – ideal for city travel
- When they are suitable: city errands and short trips, quick weekend getaways, solo travel, or couples without much luggage.
- Advantages: lower rental cost.
Examples of compact cars:
Ford Fiesta – low fuel consumption, easy parking, ideal for 2–3 people and weekend trips.
Ford Puma – a modern crossover with more luggage space, convenient for a mix of city and out-of-town routes.
2. Mid-size class – balance between comfort and price
- When they are suitable: longer trips within the country, family weekends, or business travel.
- Advantages: more luggage space, greater comfort on long journeys, and good fuel efficiency.
Examples of mid-size cars:
Ford Kuga – a spacious SUV, comfortable for long trips.
Ford EcoSport – a more compact SUV, convenient in urban conditions yet suitable for rougher roads.
3. SUVs and crossovers – safety and space
- When they are suitable: mountain routes, winter travel, and family vacations with more luggage.
- Advantages: higher ground clearance, road stability, and a spacious cabin.
Examples of SUVs and crossovers:
Volvo XC60 – a premium SUV combining comfort, technology, and style—excellent for business travel and long routes.
Volvo C40 (electric SUV) – perfect for those who want eco-friendly travel with zero emissions.
4. Luxury cars – for style and special occasions
- When they are suitable: business meetings, weddings, special events, or whenever you want to make an impression.
- Advantages: maximum comfort, modern technology, and a luxurious appearance.
Examples of luxury cars:
Ford Mustang Mach-E – an electric SUV with dynamic character and a sporty feel.
Land Rover Range Rover Velar – ideal for corporate clients or trips where comfort and prestige are a priority.
5. Vans and minibuses – for group travel and transport
This segment offers flexible solutions when volume and capacity are the priority—whether for transporting teams, goods, relocations, or various specific operational needs.
When they are suitable:
- Passenger: corporate events, delegations, trips with friends, sports camps, or transfers for larger groups.
- Cargo: transport of goods, site deliveries, moving equipment or products, or logistical support for business.
Advantages:
- Efficiency: capacity for 7–9 people, which is more economical than renting several separate cars.
- Functionality: large usable space, easy loading access, and high payload capacity.
Examples of vans and minibuses:
Ford Tourneo Connect – a comfortable minivan suitable for business travel or family vacations. Thanks to its foldable seats, it quickly transforms from a comfortable passenger vehicle into a practical solution for transporting light cargo, office equipment, or bulkier items (for example, if you make regular “trips” to IKEA).
Ford Transit Custom – a multifunctional model with strong practicality. Available in both passenger versions and as a pure cargo van—the ideal solution for transporting bulky goods and materials.
Practical tips when choosing a rental car
- Consider the number of passengers and the amount of luggage—this determines the vehicle size.
- Think about the route—city, highway, or mountains.
- Take the budget into account, but don’t sacrifice comfort on long distances.
- Consider the season—an SUV is safer in winter, while a compact car may be sufficient in summer.
The right vehicle class guarantees not only convenience but also a smoother, trouble-free journey.
