Well that depends on where you’re planning to go. Downtown Thiruvananthapuram, about 2 miles from Thiruvananthapuram Airport (TRV-Trivandrum Intl.), can be a little tricky to drive in. Make life easier by picking something small, fuel-efficient, and a breeze to handle. Having said that, Thiruvananthapuram is a handy base from which to explore some of the sandy shores around Thiruvananthapuram District. If your trip is more about cruising the wide-open roads, then you may like something with a bit more comfort and legroom. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
