Fetch your luggage, stroll out of Montes Claros Airport (MOC), and pick up your rental car. Which one you hop into depends on what your travel itinerary looks like. If you’ll be spending most of your time driving in downtown Montes Claros, around 11 miles from the terminal, select something small and zippy. A compact car with nimble handling will be perfect for navigating those busy city streets. But with a smorgasbord of things to see, like the picturesque rolling hills of the region, you’ll probably be clocking up a few miles. A bigger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make lengthier road trips a pleasure.
