What types of cars can I rent in Gainesville?
Keep costs low with an economy, splash out on a premium ride or choose something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to go past a compact vehicle — the top pick in Gainesville. They're a joy to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a smart idea if you're visiting busy cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect a little more comfort and room at a price that's still nice.
