Sure, you can do Porto-Novo without renting a vehicle. But with so much to check out here, having one would certainly make life easier. If you plan to head out of town and into wide, open spaces, pick a rental car with a bit of power. A mid-size or full-size SUV will take you to the surrounding sandy shores in roomy comfort. Rather spend the majority of your time near the bright lights of the city? A compact or mini car is a wise choice. Maneuvering through narrow streets and squeezing into tight parking spaces will be a cinch in one of these.
