Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Milpitas?

Accepted Answer

Milpitas is calling your name. This vibrant metropolis is jam-packed with amazing things to do — Great Mall of the Bay Area, anyone? Naturally, big cities often mean traffic jams, and scoring a car space isn't that easy. That's why switched-on motorists book an economy or a compact car. These small runabouts won't be suitable for everyone though. If you're road tripping with friends, you might prefer a ride with more room, like an SUV or a full-size car. These would also make it easy to check out the beautiful sandy shores the region is known for.
