Well that depends on where you’d like to go. Downtown Surat, about 6 miles from Surat Airport (STV), can be tricky to drive in. Make things easy by renting something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to operate. That said, Surat is also a jumping off point for some of the sandy shores around Gujarat. If your trip is more about cruising down long stretches of road, then you may prefer something with more trunk space and room to move about. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
