That depends on where you want to go. Downtown Southaven, about 28 miles from Tunica, MS Airport (UTM-Tunica Municipal), can be a challenge to drive in. Keep things easy by choosing something small, fuel-efficient, and simple to operate. Keep in mind that Southaven is an excellent base to explore some of the sandy shores around Memphis. If your escape is more about tearing down the open road, then you may prefer something with a little more comfort and room to move about. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
