Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Worcester?

Accepted Answer

Having your own car in Worcester will give you more freedom to squeeze in as many attractions as you can. Maybe you'd like to head out of the city, hit the open road, and go where the wind blows. If that's the case, drive off in one of our SUVs and have a look at the bays in the area. If you just want to soak up city life, slide behind the wheel of something small. Dashing around those busy streets will be a lot easier with a mini or compact car.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Worcester?

If you feel like splashing out, why not pick an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a cushy medium-sized sedan? On the other hand, if you just need a car to zip around town in as cheaply as possible, go for an economy vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).
