That depends on where you’re planning to head. Downtown Brownsville, about 25 miles from Harlingen, TX Airport (HRL-Valley Intl.), can be a little tricky to drive in. Keep things easy by opting for something small, fuel-efficient, and a breeze to handle. Keep in mind that Brownsville is also the gateway to many of the sandy shores around Cameron County. If your journey is more about cruising the wide-open roads, then you may like something with a bit more trunk space and room to move around. What about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
