Sorrento car hires from £34/day

There’s little doubt that a small economy car or compact is the most affordable and agile type of car, but that doesn’t make it the most practical if you’re travelling with a party of five. For families or large groups of friends on holiday, an SUV or intermediate saloon offers more storage space and increased comfort for long hours on the road.
