The roads in Chitose are generally well maintained and are accessible using most vehicle types. The Hyundai Accent is a popular one in Chitose car hire. When travelling with your family, you can hire an SUV like the Toyota RAV4 or Ford Escape, as they are more spacious and can comfortably fit a car seat for your child. A group travelling together can take a minivan like the Volkswagen Touran or Ford Galaxy for extra seats. Take the Audi A3, Hyundai Elantra or the Ford Mondeo for long-distance driving; they are big and comfortable. If you want to experience luxury, cruising on the Chitose roads with a Chrysler or Mercedes-Benz C-Class or E-Class will be ideal. During winter, all the cars come with snow chains, and you should avoid economy cars like Ford Fiesta or Fiat Panda, as they do not handle ice and snow very well.
