Well that depends on where you’ll be wandering. Downtown San Salvador, about 19 miles from San Salvador Airport (SAL-El Salvador Intl.), can be a challenge to drive in. Make life easy by choosing something small, fuel-efficient, and a breeze to handle. That said, San Salvador is a handy base from which to explore some of the sandy shores around El Salvador. If your vacation is more about cruising down long stretches of road, then you may prefer something with a little more trunk space and room to move about. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
