When traveling, renting a car is nearly always a good decision because it allows you to see sites at your own pace and on your own schedule. It's always nice to be able to avoid crowded bus or rail times and go in the early morning or late at night if it suits you better.

You can rent almost any kind of car in Praia, from small, cheap cars to high-end ones. Here are some things you might want to think about:

A size of the car: A bigger car may be more comfortable on the highway, but many beautiful villages in Praia have narrow streets. Parking garages are often small, and getting in and out of them can be a nightmare. Renault Twingo is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Praia. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 13$. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, EAST COAST is ready to offer a Business-class model - BMW 5 series, price starts at 53$ per day.
Most rental cars in Praia are manual, but more and more automatic cars are becoming available. Automatic cars usually cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.
