That depends where you plan to wander. Downtown Montgomery, about 7 miles from Montgomery, AL Airport (MGM-Montgomery Regional), can be challenging to drive in. Make things easy by picking something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. Bear in mind that Montgomery is also the gateway to many of the sandy shores around Alabama. If your vacation is more about clocking up those miles, then you may like something with a little more comfort and extra legroom. What about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
