When looking to rent a car in Watertown, there are multiple options, and the choice of vehicle depends on specific needs. However, based on the terrain and road conditions in the area, an SUV or intermediate car would be an ideal choice.  Watertown has well-maintained roads, but some of the poorly maintained tertiary roads can be uneven. An SUV or intermediate car has a raised ground clearance and adequate suspension to easily tackle uneven terrain.
