Hire Group A - Peugeot 106 or similar
Group A are the smallest rental cars available and this is reflected in the pricing. However as the saying goes small can sometimes be beautiful. Group A rental cars are functional and do a job -getting one or two people from A to B with minimum fuss. Their size restricts the amount of luggage that can be carried and Group A hire cars are really ideal for no more than short journeys or for zooming around a metropolitan area. Vehicles in this group will be something like a Peugeot 106, Ford Ka, Fiat Sciecento. These cars normally have a 1.0 litre capacity engine which won't win a grand prix race but will be economical.

This is because of its very neat design that allows two extra seats to fold up from the floor in the rear. It has added height so that the vehicle feels bigger than it is. However the vehicle can only really fit 5 adults, with the extra seats only suitable for children. With 7 seats there is limited space for luggage, but with 5 seats there is ample room. Indeed many people like them for this reason and the fact that the higher seating position gives a sense of security and better vision.
