Brainerd has some narrow and busy roads, and some streets are brimming with vehicles and human traffic, all posing considerable driving challenges. You can drive successfully if you get a smaller vehicle to help you with maneuvering these narrow, busy streets. Another advantage of getting a smaller car is ease of parking, since a small rental car can fit into smaller parking spaces. So, consider an economy or compact car, especially if you’re traveling alone.
