Grab your bags, stroll out of Mandalay Airport (MDL-Mandalay Intl.), and collect your rental car. Which one you jump into depends on what your travel itinerary looks like. If you’ll be spending the majority of the time driving in downtown Mandalay, around 22 miles from the terminal, you’ll want something small. A compact car that’s easy to maneuver will be perfect for those busy city streets. But with almost endless things to see, like the stunning sandy shores of the surrounding area, you’ll probably be racking up those miles. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips more comfortable.
