They tend to be smaller to accommodate our narrow streets and quaint villages, therefore packing lighter is suggested to allow for ease and flexibility when renting a car due to the limited space in our vehicles. If in doubt, reserve a size up in vehicle just to be safe and to ensure your luggage will fit (plus leave room for any souvenirs you might be bringing home with you).
