That depends largely on where you plan to wander. Downtown Caracas, about 9 miles from Caracas Airport (CCS-Simon Bolivar Intl. of Maiquetia), can be a challenge to drive in. Make things easy for yourself by reserving something small, fuel-efficient, and a breeze to handle. That being said, Caracas is a good base to explore some of the coral reefs around Miranda. If your journey is more about clocking up those miles, then you may like something with a little more comfort and room to move. What about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
