Well that depends on where you’d like to go. Downtown Albuquerque, about 2 miles from Albuquerque, NM Airport (ABQ-Albuquerque Intl. Sunport), can be tricky to drive in. Make things easier by picking something small, fuel-efficient, and simple to operate. Having said that, Albuquerque is an excellent base to explore some of the desert landscapes in Bernalillo County. If your getaway is more about tearing down the open road, then you may prefer something with more trunk space and legroom. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
