Claix is a little outside of downtown Grenoble, so there’s a high chance you’ll be doing a fair amount of driving. If your plan is to use Claix as a base to discover the city and its surroundings, opt for a smaller car. Nothing beats a compact vehicle for squeezing into those tiny parking lots. Alternatively, if you’re heading away from the bright lights and slow traffic, reserve something with a bigger engine and more room to move. Not many people regret splashing out that little bit extra on a premium or a full-size car.
