Well that depends on where you’re planning to head. Downtown Sarasota, about 4 miles from Sarasota, FL Airport (SRQ-Sarasota-Bradenton Intl.), can be a bit tricky to drive around. Make life easier by choosing something small, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. Bear in mind that Sarasota is a popular base for exploring many of the coral reefs in Manatee County. If your vacation is more about clocking up those miles, you may want a ride with a little more trunk space and room to move. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
