How do you determine whether to rent a car or not?

We base every recommendation on three key factors: need, worth, and should. Together, these help answer the simple but important question: car or no car? 🚗❓

Need 🚶‍♀️🚲🚆

Need is about whether a car is actually required. We look closely at the quality of public transport, how easy it is to walk around, and whether cycling is practical and safe.

If buses, trains, trams, walking, and cycling are all good, then there is often no real need to rent a car at all 👍

Worth 💷⛽🅿️

Worth looks at cost and value. This includes the price of hiring a car, as well as fuel, toll roads, parking fees, and other extras that quickly add up.

We then compare these costs with public transport fares and other alternatives, helping travellers see which option offers better value 💸

Should ⚖️✅❌

Should brings everything together. It balances convenience and cost to answer the question people actually ask: “Given this destination, should I hire a car?”
