Sure, you can get around Machilipatnam without a rental car. But with loads to see here, having one would certainly make your trip more convenient and fun. If you want to get out of the city and into wide, open spaces, opt for a car rental with a bit of power. A mid-size or full-size SUV will get you to the surrounding sandy shores in comfort. Rather spend most of your vacation in the city center? A compact or mini car is the way to go. Maneuvering through narrow laneways and squeezing into tight parking spaces will be a cinch in one of these.
