St. Albans is a delightful city that acts as both a commuter base for London, and also a top tourist city too. As it is very busy all week, you would be better off getting a small vehicle like a Fiat 500 so you are able to park with ease. If you want to take your car out into the English countryside, then you will want something that has a bit more bite. A Nissan Juke, for example, is an SUV that will improve handling on winding roads and is also better suited to a range of terrains.
