Rental Car Or Public Transport? Which Should You Use?

Now that you've booked your holiday and found a place to stay, your upcoming vacation is in full swing... but how do you get around? Should I rent a car or use public transportation?


When Is It Right To Rent A Car Or Use Public Transport? 


Car rental: Renting a car is a good idea for people who want to go far away or over long distances. Renting a car is also better for people who want their own comfortable space while travelling. This is especially true for people travelling with kids or a lot of stuff.


Public transportation: People who only want to go a short distance once they get there should take public transportation. Those who live in the city centre may find it easier to get around using public transportation.


When Is Renting a Car The Best Choice? 


  • When you rent a car, you can go anywhere you want. You will have more say over your vacation and won't have to stick to strict public transportation times.

  • If you plan to take a lot of taxis and Ubers to get around, it might be cheaper to rent a car.

  • When you rent a car, you'll have more freedom to choose where to stay. If you stay in a villa in a quieter area, you won't be stuck if you rent a car.

  • Families with kids find it much easier to rent cars. It can be hard to figure out how to use public transportation and transfers with kids.

  • Finding the real, hidden gems of the country that you might not be able to get to by public transportation. Tour buses and public transportation are likely to only take you to the most popular places, but if you rent a car, you can go to the most remote parts of the countryside.

  • If you rent a car, you can go straight from A to B, which can make your trip safer. When you take public transportation, you might have to walk through or wait in places you don't know. Also, riding the bus or train puts you at risk of being pickpocketed. If you want to take public transportation, be sure to plan your route carefully.


When Is Public Transport The Best Choice? 


  • If you plan to drink a lot on your trip, your designated driver might not have the best time. Everyone will be able to have a fun night out if they take a taxi.

  • It can be hard to find a place to park in a city, especially if you rent a bigger car. If you use public transportation, you don't have to worry about where to park in a busy city.

  • If you don't plan to move around much, you can save a lot of money by taking public transportation like buses or coaches. From the airport, it will be easy to get to popular places.
