Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Scranton?

Accepted Answer

Scranton is major. You could chill out for a while here and still not see it all. If you'd like to take in as much as you can in this bustling metropolis, you'll need a rental car. Bear in mind that driving around the city often comes with tight streets and even tighter parking spots. But don't worry — a small car like a compact can make this a lot less daunting. If you're in the mood to get out of the city and check out some of the rolling hills that Scranton is renowned for, you'll want a vehicle with more room. A full-size or mid-size SUV are perfect for scenic road trips.
