People considering car rentals in Braintree should usually focus on securing a smaller or even compact car. Because the suburb of Braintree is densely populated and because you might be driving into the even more densely populated city of Boston, a smaller car that can negotiate in and out of traffic and fit in tighter parking spaces is more convenient. However, if you are renting a car in the winter, you might feel safer in a larger car with more power, such as a vehicle with four-wheel drive. If you will be heading to the beach in the summer, you might want a larger sedan to fit more people or equipment for outdoor adventures in the car.
