That depends largely on where you’re going. Downtown Saratov, about 16 miles from Saratov Airport (GSV-Gagarin), can be a little daunting to drive in. Make things easy by booking something small, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. Take into consideration that Saratov is an excellent base to explore some of the bays in Saratov Oblast. If your escape is more about cruising down long stretches of road, then you may prefer something with a bit more comfort and legroom. What about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
