Keep the airport journey in the comparison
A small car that suits two people during the holiday may not suit the same people carrying oversized cases or equipment. Check the full arrival and departure load before selecting the smallest quote. Ask for category guidance if the model is listed only as an example.

A situation worth thinking through
Two adults travelling light have different space needs from two adults with a pushchair and large cases, even with the same number of seats required.
Automatic rentals: the wider picture
Transmission is a practical booking requirement, not a detail to leave until arrival. Compare an automatic category with enough passenger and luggage space, then confirm that the transmission is stated in the selected reservation.
The example model shown in a fleet image may change within a category, so distinguish between a transmission requirement and a particular make. Before leaving the handover point, ask about the selector, parking brake and any controls you do not recognise. Set your route while stationary. If another driver will share the rental, check that their documents and experience meet the booking requirements too.

Can I reserve a specific small automatic model?
Only rely on a particular model if the booking explicitly guarantees it. Otherwise compare the reserved category.
Check the current details
General planning advice cannot confirm availability, eligibility, charges or permissions for a particular rental. Use your selected reservation and current official information.
