Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Greifswald?

Accepted Answer

Sure, you can do Greifswald without a rental car. But with so much to see and experience here, having one would definitely make your trip more fun and convenient.

If you want to treat yourself, why not grab an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a stylish mid-sized sedan? Alternatively, if you just need a car to whiz around town in at the cheapest price possible, you're better off going with an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won't blow your budget).
