Renting a car in the Mini category is a great choice for a weekend getaway with your loved one or a short business trip. With a Mini you can save on both your rental costs and petrol, as Minis have great fuel economy. Finding a parking space is a breeze with these small cars.
There is also variety within this category: depending on location and availability, you can hire a Mini class car with two or four doors - some can even fit four passengers. If you are travelling somewhere where you need to make lots of short trips, such as an island destination like Mallorca, this category is right for you.
If going on a short trip with only little luggage you should consider hiring a Mini class car. A wide range of vehicles in this category is available for you to choose from when you book with Auto Europe.
Minis are the smallest category offered by Auto Europe, and also one of the most popular. Their small size makes them more affordable to book, but also more affordable to drive, as you can save on fuel costs.
Cars in the Mini car class have been on the market since the 90's. The car has proved popular with customers wanting a budget-friendly vehicle for short trips. There are large differences between models that belong to this category, however. The Smart and the Fiat 500, for example, are in this category, but so is the comparatively larger Citroen DS3. Though smaller in size, Mini category cars still have adequately powered engines.
The main selling point of a Mini is certainly that it offers great value for money, both in relation to hire prices but also thanks to their low fuel consumption. Driving a Mini class vehicle is a delight, as the engines are well powered and the cars are easy to manoeuvre. Zipping though the narrow streets, such as the ones in Alicante, is easy and stress-free, as is finding a place to park. You should note, however, that if you are travelling with more people, many Minis will not fit your whole group, or may be best suited only for short trips. For longer drives as well as groups with lots of luggage, you may wish to hire a larger car.
For a trip on your own or when you are only carrying very light luggage, opt for a Smart or a Fiat 500, or similar. Their compact size makes these vehicles incredibly agile and stress-free to drive. The Hyundai i10, Citroen DS3 and Opel Adam, on the other hand, are more suitable if you travelling with a larger group. For special occasions, such as a romantic trip to Rome, try our luxury fleet, including such great cars as the Mini Cooper Roadster Cabriolet.
