Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Owensboro?

Accepted Answer

Having your own car in Owensboro will give you more freedom to go wherever you like. Maybe you want to leave the big city behind, hit the open road, and see where the wind takes you. If so, grab the keys to one of our mid-size or full-size SUVs and check out the rolling hills in the area. If you'd rather experience the bright city lights, jump behind the wheel of something small.

If you feel like splashing out, why not pick an elite SUV, or perhaps a flashy mid-size sedan?
