The freedom to see sights at your own pace and on your own timetable is a major perk of having a rental car while on vacation. It's nice to be able to schedule your travel whenever you'd like, whether that's at the crack of dawn or after midnight to avoid crowded bus or train times.

Choose a car based on what you want to do on your trip. Small cars like the Opel Corsa or Audi A1 can be used to get around the city and its surroundings.
The Ford Fusion is the most popular car in the Standard category. Its starting price is 23$ per day from EAST COAST, and its rating average is 9 based on more than 1000 customer reviews. VW Tiguan from EUROPCAR is the most reasonably priced rental vehicle in Gdansk. Just 25$ per day is the cost.
