Well that depends on where you’re planning to head. Downtown Belo Horizonte, about 6 miles from Belo Horizonte Airport (PLU), can be a bit tricky to drive around. Make life easier by booking something small, fuel-efficient, and a breeze to handle. That being said, Belo Horizonte is an excellent base to explore some of the rolling hills in Minas Gerais. If your vacation is more about cruising down long stretches of road, you may want a ride with a bit more comfort and room to move around. What about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
