Fetch your suitcase, stroll out of arrivals at Durban North Airport (VIR-Virginia), and pick up your rental car. Which one you grab the keys to depends on where you’re going. If you’ll be mostly driving in downtown Durban, around 6 miles from the terminal, you’ll want something small. A compact car with good handling will be ideal for navigating those winding city streets. But with a smorgasbord of things to see, like the stunning desert landscapes of the region, you’ll probably be racking up a few miles. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips a joy.
