Fetch your luggage, exit the arrivals hall at Penza Airport (PEZ), and collect your rental car. Which one you motor off in depends on where you plan to go. If you’ll be spending a good deal of time driving in downtown Penza, around 6 miles from the terminal, you’ll want something zippy. A compact car with good handling will suit those busy city streets. But with so many things to see, like the stunning steppes of the surrounding area, you’ll probably be racking up those miles. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips a joy.
