Economy vs. Compact car hire
Quite often, people wonder about what kind of car to rent better – an economy one or compact? Basically, there is no major difference. Both can place up to 5 people including a driver, both types are available to young drivers (even for under-25s) and both variants have manual and automatic transmissions in their fleet. But, still, there are slight differences.
Economy cars are often cheaper than compact ones. Economy cars are characterized by high fuel efficiency (low expenditure on gas). On the other hand, compact cars are a bit larger, hence comfortable. Compact cars can be more fuel efficient than a larger sedan. Economy cars can carry 2 baggage units and compact – 3.
So, as you can see, the differences are slight. If you’re a fan of a certain car model and prefer to drive only it, you can choose either car group. Prices depend on the provider’s price policy, on what is included in the price and the initial cost of the vehicle and year of production.
