You can generally choose the vehicle for your Kingston car hire based on your personal needs and preferences. You won't usually have a specific need for a small vehicle or for a 4WD. Smaller vehicles will be a good choice for travellers on a budget, and larger vehicles will be handy if you plan on transporting a lot of luggage and equipment. If you're visiting in winter, you may want to ensure that you book a front-wheel car drive, as these can often handle snow better than back-wheel drives.
