When choosing Gainesville car rentals, a versatile and capable SUV would be the recommended type of car to rent. This is because of the terrain and roads in the area, which can range from steep hills to unpaved roads. An SUV with all-wheel drive (AWD) would provide the necessary traction and stability to handle the steep inclines and variable road conditions, while also giving you the space and comfort you need for a comfortable ride.
