Why Hatchback Cars Are the Best Choice for City Driving

Posted on by Nemanja Admin

Hatchbacks are a symbol of practicality, functionality, and efficiency, making them the perfect choice for urban driving. Thanks to their compact dimensions and versatile design, they are ideal for everyday challenges such as navigating through traffic, squeezing into tight parking spots, and running errands without added stress. In today’s cities, where space is often considered a luxury, hatchbacks allow for smooth movement through narrow streets while still offering enough room for passengers and luggage.

We choose hatchbacks that can meet various needs – whether it’s short daily commutes, business errands, or the occasional longer trip, you’re sure to find a model that suits your driving style.

Advantages of Hatchbacks in the City

  1. Compact Dimensions
    Their smaller size allows for easy maneuvering through traffic and parking in crowded areas. Models like the Hyundai i10 or Fiat 500L 1.4 are perfect for drivers who deal with limited parking space on a daily basis.
  2. Trunk Functionality
    Hatchbacks come with rear doors that include the trunk, offering easy access and greater flexibility. This is especially useful for family drives or when you need to carry more luggage. We focus on selecting models like the Renault Clio 1.5, which combine compact size with practical storage capacity.
  3. Fuel Efficiency
    Due to their lighter weight and smaller size, hatchbacks like the Opel Astra are known for their fuel efficiency, making them a cost-effective option for everyday city driving. This not only reduces overall expenses but also helps protect the environment.
  4. Versatility
    Hatchbacks are ideal for daily urban use but are also suitable for weekend trips. Our fleet includes models like the Škoda Rapid 1.6, which provide extra space and comfort for drivers and passengers who occasionally go on longer journeys.

Types of Hatchback Cars

  1. B Segment (Subcompact Cars)
     Vehicles in this category, such as the Hyundai i10 or Renault Clio, are perfect for urban conditions. They offer compactness, ease of handling, and affordable fuel consumption – everything you need for everyday city driving.
  2. C Segment (Compact Cars)
    For those who need a balance between comfort and practicality, models like the Opel Astra or Škoda Rapid offer extra space for passengers and luggage while maintaining the benefits of hatchback design. These vehicles are perfect for families and drivers who need more room without sacrificing economy.

Differences Between Hatchbacks and Sedans

Dimensions and Design:
Hatchbacks are typically shorter than sedans and feature a distinct design with rear doors that include the trunk space. This layout allows easier access to luggage and greater flexibility in using the cargo area. Sedans, on the other hand, follow the traditional three-box structure – engine compartment, passenger cabin, and a separate trunk – which gives them a more elegant and formal appearance.

Urban Practicality:
Due to their compact size, hatchbacks are highly suited for city driving. Their shorter length makes it easier to maneuver through tight streets, park quickly, and handle heavy traffic. While sedans often provide a smoother ride, they usually require more space for parking and may be less convenient in dense urban environments.

Trunk Capacity:
Sedans may appear to offer more trunk space in terms of volume, but hatchbacks have the advantage of foldable rear seats, significantly increasing cargo capacity when needed. Models like the Fiat 500L or VW Golf can carry bulky items, something that is more difficult in sedans due to limited trunk openings and fixed partitions.

Aesthetics and Perception:
Sedans are often chosen by those who prefer a classic, sophisticated look, making them popular among business professionals and for formal occasions. On the other hand, hatchbacks, with their modern and functional design, appeal to younger drivers and those who value practicality without compromising on style. Sporty hatchback variants often offer a dynamic look and better performance, while sedans are known for their comfort on longer trips.

Most Popular Hatchbacks

Based on our experience, we know how important it is to offer a range of options to suit different needs. Some of our most requested models include:

  • B Segment: Hyundai i10, Renault Clio 1.5, Fiat 500L 1.4

  • C Segment: Opel Astra, Škoda Rapid 1.6

These models are known for their practicality, fuel economy, and comfort, making them perfect for city driving.

Why Are Hatchbacks the Best Choice?

If you're looking for a small city car, a hatchback is the ideal solution. Its compact size, fuel efficiency, and practical design make it perfect for the demands of everyday city life. Models like the Renault Clio or Škoda Rapid also perform well on highways, offering comfort and safety for longer trips too.

What Should Not Be Left in the Car During Summer: A Practical Guide for Safe Travel

Posted on by Nemanja Admin

Summer temperatures in Serbia and the region can turn your car into a real oven—even when it’s not extremely hot outside, the interior of a vehicle parked in the sun can quickly reach 60 or even 70°C. Such heat is not only unpleasant when entering the car, but it can seriously damage items left inside and even endanger the health of passengers.

 

Whether you’re heading to the seaside, touring Serbia, or using a rental car for daily errands, it’s important to know what should never be left in the car during summer days. Proper packing and choosing a car with good air conditioning and sun protection, such as models from the Avaco Rent a Car fleet, can help make your trip safe and pleasant. Read on to find out what to pay special attention to!

High Temperatures and Electronics: Risks in Your Vehicle

Mobile phones, laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices are extremely sensitive to the high temperatures that develop inside a closed car during summer. When a car is parked in the sun, the temperature inside can, within minutes, reach levels that cause permanent damage to batteries and screens. Batteries may swell, weaken, or even explode, while screens and plastic parts can fade or crack.

 

Tip: Always take electronics with you when leaving the vehicle or store them in the coolest possible place in the car, away from direct sunlight. If you choose a car from the Avaco Rent a Car fleet, we recommend models with tinted windows and efficient air conditioning, such as the Opel Corsa, Škoda Fabia, or Fiat 500L. These cars help keep the interior cooler during the hottest days.

Medicines and Medical Devices: Never in a Scorching Car

Most medicines, including insulin, inhalers, antibiotics, and various syrups, are extremely sensitive to high temperatures. In the sun or in an overheated vehicle, medicines can lose their effectiveness, and some may even become dangerous to your health. This is especially important for people with chronic illnesses, children, and the elderly who depend on regular therapy.

 

Tip: Always carry medicines with you in a thermal bag or keep them in a cool place. If you’re traveling with someone who has special health needs, choose a car with strong air conditioning—excellent choices are SUV models from Avaco’s offer, such as the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross, Honda CR-V, or Hyundai Tucson. These cars quickly cool the cabin and maintain a pleasant temperature, which is especially important on longer journeys.

 

Documents and Payment Cards: Protect from Sun

Important documents such as driver’s licenses, passports, and payment cards can be damaged or become unreadable if exposed to high temperatures or direct sunlight. Plastic can soften, barcodes can fade, and magnetic strips can stop working, which can cause serious problems during travel.

 

Tip: Always keep documents and cards in a bag, wallet, or a closed compartment in the car, away from sunlight. All models from the Avaco fleet have practical compartments and glove boxes for safe storage of important items during travel.

Food and Drinks: Spoil Quickly and Can Be Dangerous

Dairy products, meat, cooked meals, and even protein bars and snacks can spoil or melt within half an hour in an overheated car. Plastic bottles left in the sun can release harmful chemicals (BPA), which further endangers health. Unpleasant odors and potentially dangerous bacteria develop quickly in such conditions.

 

Tip: Remove food and drinks from the car as soon as you get out, and carry water in glass or BPA-free bottles. If you need a larger trunk for coolers and supplies, practical choices are models like the Opel Astra or Škoda Rapid from Avaco’s offer, which provide enough space even for longer trips.

 

Children and Pets: Never in the Car, Not Even for a Minute

The temperature inside a closed car can reach 60°C in less than 15 minutes, even when it’s only moderately warm outside. A child can lose consciousness in less than 10 minutes, and pets can suffer serious consequences in just 5 minutes. Even briefly leaving children or animals in the car can have tragic results.

 

Tip: Never leave children or pets in the car, not even with the windows open or “just for a minute.” For family trips, choose spacious and air-conditioned models such as the Renault Espace or Renault Traffic from Avaco’s offer—they provide enough space, comfort, and strong air conditioning for a safe and worry-free journey.

 

Other Items That Don’t Like the Heat

Summer heat can seriously damage many everyday items that we often forget in the car. Here’s what is especially risky to leave in the car during hot days:

 

  • Nail Polish and Perfumes: These products are flammable and susceptible to changes at high temperatures. Nail polish can thicken, change color, or even explode in the bottle, while perfumes can change scent and chemical composition, and there’s a risk of glass packaging breaking due to liquid expansion.

 

  • Glasses and Contact Lenses: Sun heat can warp plastic or metal frames, and the glue that holds the lenses can loosen. Contact lenses can dry out, deform, or lose sterility, making them unusable and potentially dangerous for your eyes.

 

  • Shavers, Chargers, and Other Electronics: Electric devices and chargers are not designed for high temperatures. Heat can shorten their lifespan, cause malfunctions, or even damage batteries. Devices with lithium-ion batteries are especially sensitive and can become unstable or explode.

 

  • Lighters: Classic lighters, whether gas or petrol, pose a serious risk of explosion at high temperatures. Even if not directly exposed to sunlight, the interior of the vehicle can be hot enough to cause lighters to crack or explode, which can lead to interior damage or even fire.

 

Because of all this, it is recommended to check before leaving the car whether you have removed all these items, especially during the summer months. This way, you protect yourself and your vehicle from unnecessary risks and unpleasant surprises.

 

Bonus Tips for Safe Summer Parking

  • Park in the shade whenever possible.

 

  • Use protective windshield covers.

 

  • Leave windows slightly open (if safe).

 

  • Regularly check the air conditioning system—all Avaco cars are regularly serviced and ready for summer conditions.

 

Conclusion

Summer heat can be merciless, both for you and your car and everything you leave inside. The rule is simple: if you wouldn’t leave something in an oven, don’t leave it in a car in the sun!

 

Choose wisely—select a car from the Avaco Rent a Car fleet with strong air conditioning and extra sun protection, so every trip becomes a pleasant experience without unpleasant surprises.

 

Book your car in advance, pack smart, and enjoy a stress-free summer—wherever the road takes you!

Summer Guide: The Best Beaches of the Balkans and Europe – How to Choose the Ideal Rent a Car for Your Vacation

Posted on by Nemanja Admin

Planning a summer holiday from Serbia often starts with the question: where to go to the sea – but also, how to get there most easily? Air travel seems like the fastest option, but it often doesn’t take you directly to your desired destination. Additional transfers from the airport to your hotel or apartment are needed, which means extra costs and organization. Moreover, flight prices rise significantly in summer, and the number and weight of suitcases you can bring are limited, so you often have to choose between comfort and luggage.

 

On the other hand, traveling by bus can be exhausting – long journeys, fixed schedules, frequent transfers, and crowds. There’s no flexibility, and every stop depends on the driver and timetable, which often means missing out on interesting places or staying longer where you want.

 

Because of these limitations, more and more travelers are choosing to rent a car. A rent a car gives you complete freedom to travel at your own pace – to explore secluded beaches, local villages, natural landmarks, and restaurants that aren’t on tourist maps. No worries about schedules, luggage, or extra transfers.

 

Why Choose Rent a Car for Your Vacation?

Renting a car in Belgrade or directly at Nikola Tesla Airport allows you to start your trip stress-free, choose your own driving pace, and take breaks wherever you like. When you choose a reliable rent a car agency, you can count on technically sound and comfortable vehicles, ready for long journeys and summer conditions.

 

Whether you’re traveling alone, as a couple, with family, or friends, rent a car agencies offer various models – from economical cars to spacious SUVs and vans.

 

Even if you own a car, renting often provides more safety and comfort – without worrying about servicing, tires, registration, or potential breakdowns. Compared to smaller city cars, a rented vehicle can be much more practical and pleasant for long-distance driving.

 

If you choose a reputable agency with a well-maintained fleet, rent a car is an excellent option for a carefree and comfortable summer holiday.

 

Free Beaches: A Question That Often Changes Your Destination

Besides choosing transportation, one of the key questions when planning a holiday is: does the destination offer beautiful, but also free beaches?

 

In practice, many travelers are bothered when almost every beach access requires payment – whether for entry, mandatory rental of sunbeds and umbrellas, or minimum bills in cafes that “control” the coast. These costs quickly add up and can easily disrupt your budget and the sense of freedom that a holiday should bring.

 

That’s why countries offering a wide selection of natural, non-commercialized beaches are becoming increasingly attractive. The ability to lay down your towel wherever and whenever you want, to enjoy without rules and obligations, is crucial for many in choosing a summer destination.

 

A holiday shouldn’t mean worrying about how much a day at the beach costs – but enjoying the sea, sun, and freedom of movement.

 

Where Are Beaches Free, and Where Are Sunbeds Charged?

Greece:

Greece remains the most popular destination for holidays from Serbia, and the variety of its beaches allows everyone to find the perfect spot for relaxation. Almost all beaches are legally public and free, but many are organized with sunbeds and umbrellas for rent. Prices vary depending on location and popularity – on Halkidiki, a set of sunbeds and umbrella in the preseason can cost around €20, while during peak season, especially in the first rows by the sea, prices can reach €50–60 per set, with mandatory food or drink consumption. On Thassos, the situation is similar: on some beaches, sunbeds are free with a drink, while at more luxurious places like La Scala or Paradise Beach, a set can be €30–50, and up to €120 for the first row in exclusive areas. Still, on most Greek beaches, there is a section where you can place your own towel for free, especially if you arrive early in the morning. With a rented car, you can easily visit several beaches in one day and find those that suit you best.

 

Croatia:

Although all beaches in Croatia are legally public, in practice, much of the space is under concession and occupied by sunbeds and umbrellas for rent. Prices have risen significantly in recent years – in popular destinations like Split, Rovinj, Dubrovnik, or Hvar, a set of sunbeds and umbrella can cost between €20 and €35 per day, and even more at luxury spots. New regulations further standardize and increase prices. However, with a rented car, you can easily explore lesser-known coves and hidden beaches where there are no crowds and you can enjoy without extra costs for sunbeds.

 

Italy:

Italian beaches are known for being largely privatized – most of the best parts of the coast belong to private clubs (“bagno”), where sunbeds and umbrellas rent for €25–40 per day, while at luxury destinations like Amalfi or Capri, prices can reach an incredible €250–350 per set. Free beaches (“spiaggia libera”) are rare and often lack any facilities, but are available to everyone and ideal for those seeking an authentic experience without extra costs. With a rented car, you can explore less touristy regions and find hidden, more affordable beaches.

 

Spain:

Spanish beaches are almost always public and free, but sunbeds at most popular locations are available for rent at €10–20 per day, and are often free with a purchase at a beach bar. City beaches, especially in Barcelona, Valencia, or Malaga, offer great infrastructure – showers, toilets, and access for people with disabilities. With a rented car, you can easily visit hidden coves in Catalonia or Andalusia that are not easily accessible by public transport, and enjoy a quieter atmosphere.

 

Montenegro:

The Montenegrin coast offers a mix of organized and free beaches. On the Budva Riviera, in Herceg Novi, or the Bay of Kotor, sunbed prices range from €6 to €20, depending on location and exclusivity. Umbrellas are often charged separately, so a full set can cost around €15. Still, most beaches have a section reserved for towels and your own gear. A rented car allows you to visit several different beaches in one day, from luxury beach bars to hidden coves on the Ulcinj Riviera where prices are much more affordable.

 

Bulgaria:

Bulgaria is known for its wide, sandy, and well-kept beaches on the Black Sea, such as Sunny Beach, Golden Sands, and Nessebar. Sunbeds here are among the cheapest in the region, usually €10–15 per set, while much of the coast remains free and accessible to all. Many beaches offer water sports, great facilities for families, and a wide selection of restaurants and bars. With a car from Avaco Rent a Car, you can easily visit multiple resorts and find the perfect combination of peace, fun, and affordable prices.

 

How to Choose a Car for Your Summer Vacation?

  • For city destinations and narrow coastal towns:

If your priority is easy parking, low fuel consumption, and agility in city crowds or narrow coastal streets, we recommend mini-class models such as Fiat 500 or Toyota Yaris.

  • For longer trips and more luggage:

For family trips or longer routes, we recommend more spacious models such as Opel Astra or Škoda Rapid.

  • For adventurers and nature lovers:

If you plan trips on more demanding terrain or into nature, SUV models like Nissan Qashqai or Hyundai Tucson will provide extra safety and comfort.

  • For larger groups or lots of luggage:

For group travel or transfers, VAN models like Renault Espace or Renault Traffic are practical.

 

Tips for Traveling with a Rental Car

  • Book your vehicle in advance, especially during peak season.
  • Check the rental conditions for driving (more about the terms).
  • Plan your route and parking in advance, especially in popular resorts.
  • Always have a valid driver’s license, passport, and insurance.

 

Conclusion

Traveling to the sea from Serbia has never been easier – with the right choice of car from the Avaco Rent a Car fleet, your holiday begins the moment you get behind the wheel. Whether you choose an economical model for two, a family SUV, or a luxury car, book your vehicle on time and enjoy the freedom that only a rent a car can provide.

What You Should Know About Automatic vs. Manual Transmissions Before Choosing a Rental Car

Posted on by Nemanja Admin

When renting a car, choosing between an automatic and a manual transmission is often a key decision that depends on your driving preferences, the type of route you plan to take, and your specific needs. Each option has its own advantages and drawbacks, so it’s important to understand the basic differences in order to make the best decision and ensure a comfortable, safe, and stress-free journey.

Differences Between Automatic and Manual Transmissions

Automatic Transmission:
An automatic transmission shifts gears automatically based on driving speed and throttle input. The driver does not need to use a clutch or shift gears manually, which makes driving easier and less tiring. This type of transmission is ideal for urban driving conditions, as it allows you to navigate through traffic with minimal effort. Automatic transmissions have become increasingly popular due to their comfort, and many modern models include technologies that improve fuel efficiency and performance.

Manual Transmission:
A manual transmission allows the driver full control over the vehicle’s speed and engine power by manually shifting gears using the gear stick and clutch. While it requires more physical effort—especially in heavy city traffic—many experienced drivers enjoy the greater control it offers, particularly on challenging terrain. Manual transmissions remain popular, especially among drivers who prefer a more engaging driving experience and want better control over vehicle performance.

A Brief History of Transmissions

Manual Transmission:
The earliest automobiles featured only manual transmissions. This technology is simple and remained the industry standard for decades. Even with the advent of modern automatic transmissions, manual gearboxes still have their place due to the level of control they provide.

Automatic Transmission:
The first automatic transmission was developed in the early 20th century and quickly gained popularity, especially in the United States, due to its convenience and ease of use. Mass production of automatic transmissions began in the mid-1900s. Over the past few decades, automatic gearboxes have become the norm in many markets, and modern versions offer excellent efficiency and reduced fuel consumption, making them an increasingly attractive choice for drivers worldwide.

Pros and Cons of Automatic Transmissions

Pros:

  • Ease of use: Ideal for city driving, especially in traffic jams.

  • Reduced driver fatigue: No clutch use or frequent gear shifting makes for a more relaxed driving experience.

  • Great for beginners: Easier to learn, especially for those unfamiliar with manual driving.

Cons:

  • Higher fuel consumption in older models: Although modern automatics are fuel-efficient, older ones may consume more fuel.

  • Higher maintenance and repair costs: More complex technology means repairs and upkeep can be more expensive.

  • Less control in challenging terrain: Manual gearboxes can offer better handling on mountain roads or in difficult driving conditions.

Pros and Cons of Manual Transmissions

Pros:

  • Greater control: Drivers can fine-tune acceleration and deceleration, which is particularly useful in demanding driving conditions.

  • Lower rental and maintenance costs: Manual vehicles are generally cheaper to rent and maintain.

  • Better for tough terrain: Curvy or mountainous roads are easier to navigate with a manual gearbox.

Cons:

  • More physical effort required: Constant clutch use can be tiring in traffic.

  • Steep learning curve: Beginners may struggle with the coordination required for manual driving.

  • Higher chance of gear-shifting errors: Manual operation increases the risk of mistakes, especially during rapid gear changes.

Who Should Choose an Automatic Transmission?

  • Beginners and those unfamiliar with manual gearboxes: Automatics are easier to drive, making them ideal for new drivers.

  • City and highway drivers: If you expect heavy traffic or long highway trips, automatics offer more comfort.

  • Tourists and international visitors: Since automatic cars are the norm in many countries, they’re a better choice for travelers unfamiliar with manual shifting.

Who Should Choose a Manual Transmission?

  • Experienced drivers: If you enjoy having full control and want to maximize performance, a manual transmission is a solid choice.

  • Drivers tackling difficult terrain: For mountain or off-road driving, manuals offer more precision.

  • Budget-conscious renters: Manual cars are often more affordable in both rental price and upkeep.

Which Transmission Should You Choose When Renting a Car?

When renting a car, consider the route and your driving preferences. For city driving, an automatic transmission can make your journey smoother and more comfortable. For winding or mountainous roads, a manual may give you better control. When making your rental reservation, always specify your preferred transmission type, as it can significantly impact your driving experience.

Conclusion

Choosing between an automatic and manual transmission depends on your personal preferences, driving experience, and travel plans. Whether you go for the ease of an automatic or the precision of a manual, at Avaco Rent a Car, we believe every driver deserves a vehicle that suits their needs. If you're looking for a car that will make your journey easier—whether you're navigating city streets or hitting the highway—explore our fleet and choose the model that fits you best.

Van Transport from Door to Door: Comfort and Convenience on the Road

Posted on by Nemanja Admin

"Door-to-door" passenger van transport is becoming an increasingly popular way to travel, as it perfectly combines the comfort, flexibility, and convenience modern travelers need. This type of transport is tailored to various needs – whether you’re traveling for business, going on a well-deserved vacation, or fulfilling family obligations. Instead of spending time and energy planning a trip that includes multiple means of transport, van service allows you to relax and enjoy every step of the journey while professional drivers take care of all the details. A major advantage is that this form of transport eliminates complications such as transfers, searching for parking, or carrying heavy luggage, making it the ideal choice for travelers of all ages. In the following sections, we’ll explore the key benefits and reasons why this mode of transportation has become indispensable for many.

What Is “Door-to-Door” Van Transport?

The concept of door-to-door van transport involves a personalized service where a driver picks you up directly at your address and takes you to your desired destination. There are no transfers, no waiting, and no need to organize additional transport. This means less stress for passengers, more time to enjoy the journey, and a sense of security knowing everything is prearranged.

Modern van transport companies invest in vehicles equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including air conditioning, Wi-Fi, USB chargers, and comfortable seating. These features make even long trips enjoyable, allowing you to relax or get work done while on the road.

Benefits of Door-to-Door Van Transport

  1. Comfort and Safety
     Vans are designed to offer maximum comfort to passengers. Comfortable seats with extra legroom and ample luggage space allow you to feel at ease throughout the journey. Additionally, drivers are trained professionals who ensure safe travel.
  2. Flexibility and Time-Saving
     Unlike public intercity transport, where you must adjust your plans to the schedule, van transport offers complete flexibility. The driver arrives at your address at the agreed time, eliminating delays and extra stress. The trip is direct and efficient, with no unnecessary stops.
  3. Ideal for Group Travel
     Van transport is perfect for groups – whether it's business teams, families, or friends. Traveling together in one vehicle is not only practical but also allows for socializing along the way.
  4. Cost-Effective Option
     When travel costs are shared among passengers, van transport becomes significantly more affordable compared to individual options. Fuel, tolls, and vehicle maintenance costs are split, making this option very budget-friendly.

Most Popular Destinations from Belgrade

Door-to-door van transport offers excellent travel options to regional destinations. Here are some of the most requested routes:

  • Belgrade – Zagreb: Ideal for business meetings, weekend trips, or tourism in Croatia’s capital.

  • Belgrade – Ljubljana: Great for attending business events or exploring Slovenian landmarks.

  • Belgrade – Trieste: A popular choice for shopping trips and travel to Italy.

  • Belgrade – Halkidiki: Perfect for summer vacations and transport to Greece’s beautiful beaches.

  • Belgrade – Istria: Fantastic for enjoying the natural beauty and charm of the Istrian Peninsula.

When to Choose Van Transport?

Business Travel
 When efficiency matters, van transport offers fast, reliable, and punctual arrivals to meetings, conferences, or events, with no unnecessary delays. Drivers are professional, discreet, and familiar with the fastest routes, ensuring a stress-free business trip. With comfort and privacy during the ride, you can prepare for meetings or complete urgent tasks via laptop or phone, boosting your productivity. It’s also a great solution for team travel, allowing your team to travel together and prepare in a relaxed setting.

Family Vacations
 Planning a family trip often comes with challenges – from long-distance driving to managing all the items needed for children. Van transport makes things easier by providing enough space and maximum comfort for the whole family. It eliminates the need for frequent stops and lets parents focus on their children. Also, the ability to be picked up and dropped off directly shortens travel time and gives you more time to enjoy your vacation.

Travel with Heavy Luggage
No matter what kind of luggage you have – from sports gear like bikes and skis, to large suitcases for longer trips, or baby equipment – van transport offers a practical solution. Vans are equipped with spacious trunks and extra room for special equipment, ensuring safe and easy transport for all your belongings. No need for compromises or extra luggage transport costs, as everything fits into one vehicle.

Group Trips with Friends
Traveling with friends is always special, and van transport makes these trips even more enjoyable and organized. With the whole group traveling together, communication and trip planning become easier. Flexible destinations and departure times add to the experience, making each trip tailored to your needs. Sharing transportation costs makes this option more affordable than individual travel, while the comfort and shared atmosphere enhance the overall experience.

Environmental Impact of Van Transport

Beyond comfort and practicality, van transport also has environmental benefits. When more people share one vehicle, the number of cars on the road is reduced, contributing to lower emissions of harmful gases. This makes van transport a more sustainable choice for those who want to travel responsibly.

Conclusion

Door-to-door passenger van transport combines the comfort of private transport with the convenience of public travel, providing passengers with a simple and stress-free experience. Whether you’re traveling for business, with family or friends, or carrying a lot of luggage, this mode of transport ensures a safe and efficient arrival at your desired destination. Thanks to its flexibility and affordability, van transport is the ideal solution for all kinds of trips.

Advantages of Car Rental Services for Business Travel

Posted on by Nemanja Admin

Business travel is an integral part of modern-day business. Whether it’s meeting clients, attending conferences, or delivering presentations, the efficiency and organization of your travel are key factors for successful outcomes. To avoid stress and save valuable time, car rental services emerge as the best solution for business travelers. Below, we outline the benefits of renting a car for business trips and how this service can boost your productivity and professional image.

1. Flexibility and Efficiency

Time is one of the most important resources for every businessperson. Relying on public transportation, train and bus delays, or waiting for taxis can severely disrupt your schedule and lead to missed opportunities. For example, in Belgrade, known for traffic jams and unpredictable weather conditions, finding a taxi during rain, sleet, or rush hour often becomes an impossible task. A rented car gives you complete control over your time and routes—no stress, no waiting, and no delays. You can arrive at meetings or events exactly on time.

Key advantages of car rental flexibility:

  • Quickly and easily move between locations.
  • Avoid dependency on public transport schedules.
  • Stop wherever you need or extend meetings stress-free.
  • If your plans involve multiple cities or clients in different parts of the country, a rental car ensures optimal time management.

For example, traveling from the airport to a business meeting with a rented car eliminates waiting for transport and allows you to stick to your schedule.

2. Professional Image

First impressions often make or break opportunities in the business world. Arriving at a meeting or conference in a modern, well-maintained car leaves a strong impression about you and your company. Car rental agencies offer a wide range of vehicles, including luxury cars, which can enhance your professional image.

Why is a professional image important?

  • An elegant vehicle symbolizes seriousness and dedication to business.
  • Clients and partners will trust your organization and professionalism.

Modern cars provide comfort and additional features that make traveling easier. Whether you choose a car for formal events or an SUV for more flexible travel, selecting the right vehicle reflects your business culture.

3. Comfort and Privacy

Business trips often include long drives and the need for a quiet space to work. Rental cars offer maximum comfort and privacy essential for productivity.

Comfort benefits of rental cars:

  • Travel allows you to hold business calls in peace and without interruptions.
  • Spacious seats and air conditioning ensure a pleasant drive, even on long trips.
  • Additional features like Bluetooth and GPS navigation simplify daily organization.

While driving to your next meeting, you can complete a business call, review a presentation, or simply enjoy the quiet to prepare for important negotiations.

4. Tailored to Your Needs

Every business trip has its specific requirements. Sometimes you travel alone, other times with colleagues or clients. Car rental agencies offer a broad selection of vehicles tailored to your needs:

  • Compact cars for quick city drives and easy parking in busy areas.
  • SUVs for long trips with extra space for luggage and equipment.
  • Vans for team trips, presentations, or corporate events with more participants.

This flexibility allows you to find the ideal vehicle for any situation, regardless of the number of people or type of journey.

5. Cost Efficiency

At first glance, renting a car may seem like an additional expense. However, considering all the benefits, car rental services often lead to significant savings:

  • No maintenance costs: You don’t worry about breakdowns, servicing, or technical inspections.
  • Fuel savings: Agencies offer fuel-efficient vehicles.
  • Long-term deals: For frequent business trips, rental agencies often provide special discounts and long-term packages.

The combination of these factors makes car rentals a more cost-effective option compared to taxis or using your own vehicle.

6. Availability at Key Locations

Car rental services are especially practical because vehicles can be picked up at strategic locations such as airports, train stations, or city centers. This means that as soon as you arrive at your destination, transportation is immediately available.

Imagine arriving in a new city where a rental car is already waiting for you at the airport—no waiting in taxi lines or wasting time on public transport. Everything is tailored to your pace and needs.

7. Safety and Reliability

Business travel requires a vehicle that is reliable and safe. Car rental agencies regularly maintain their vehicles to ensure a safe ride. Most agencies also offer additional services such as:

  • Winter equipment for travel in snowy conditions.
  • All-wheel drive for challenging terrains.
  • Vehicle insurance in case of an accident.

SUV Vehicles: Advantages, Disadvantages, and the Best Choices from Avaco Rent a Car

Posted on by Nemanja Admin

SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) have topped the list of most sought-after vehicles in the car rental industry in recent years. Their combination of spaciousness, safety, and multi-functional use makes them an ideal choice for families, business travelers, and adventurers alike. In this blog, we’ll explore everything you need to know about SUVs—their advantages, disadvantages, intended users, and the top models available for rent at Avaco Rent a Car.

What Are SUVs?

SUVs stand out from standard vehicles due to their robust construction and elevated chassis. While once reserved for rough terrain, modern SUVs are now well-suited for urban driving conditions. Key features include:

  • Increased ground clearance – Allows for easier navigation over obstacles such as bumps, potholes, and snow.
  • More space for passengers and luggage – Ideal for travelers with multiple suitcases, sports equipment, or strollers.
  • Adaptable drivetrain – While some models feature front-wheel drive, many offer all-wheel drive, making them perfect for mountain roads and adverse weather conditions.

SUVs come in various classes—from compact models, ideal for city driving, to luxury options that provide top-tier comfort and performance.

Advantages of SUVs in Car Rental Services

Spaciousness and Comfort
Traveling with family or friends can be challenging without enough space. SUVs provide ample room for all passengers, while spacious trunks accommodate a large amount of luggage without compromise. This makes them especially convenient for long drives to the mountains, seaside, or weekend getaways.

Adaptability to Different Terrains
SUVs perform exceptionally well in various conditions:

  • Highways – Safe and comfortable driving at high speeds.
  • Rural and unpaved roads – All-wheel drive ensures stability and safety.
  • Snow and rain – Improved control during adverse weather.

Safety as a Priority
Thanks to their sturdy build, advanced safety, and assistance systems, SUVs offer an added layer of protection for passengers. Features like downhill assist, blind spot sensors, and automatic braking systems ensure a safer drive.

Elegance and Professionalism
High-performance SUVs, such as the Mercedes-Benz GLC, are not only practical but also aesthetically appealing. This makes them a popular choice for business professionals who want to project professionalism and prestige during business trips or client meetings.

Luxury and Professional Appearance

Luxury SUV models are perfect for business meetings or transporting clients, combining elegance and professionalism without sacrificing comfort.

Tips for Driving an SUV

Whether you’re an experienced SUV driver or trying this category for the first time, here are a few tips for safe and efficient driving:

  • Adjust your speed to the terrain – Slow down on uneven roads to maintain vehicle stability.
  • Take advantage of all-wheel drive – It’s especially useful for snow or muddy terrain.
  • Parking in urban areas – Use parking sensors and cameras due to the vehicle’s larger dimensions.
  • Adjust your speed in turns – The height of an SUV requires more caution when navigating sharp curves.

Disadvantages of SUVs

While SUVs are highly practical and popular, there are a few drawbacks to consider:

  • Higher fuel consumption – Due to their size and weight, SUVs consume more fuel.
  • Parking challenges – Larger dimensions can be problematic in urban environments.
  • Higher rental costs – Their value and popularity result in slightly higher rental prices.

Who Are SUVs For?

  • Families – They provide the space and comfort needed for carefree travel with children.
  • Adventurers – Perfect for nature lovers and challenging terrains.
  • Business travelers – Luxury SUV models offer prestige and professionalism.

Who Might SUVs Not Be Ideal For?

  • Solo travelers or couples in need of city cars, where smaller vehicles are more practical.
  • Drivers in urban areas where parking can be an issue.

The Environmental Aspect of SUVs

While traditional SUVs tend to consume more fuel and have a higher carbon footprint, the automotive industry is increasingly committed to sustainability and eco-friendly solutions. Many manufacturers now offer hybrid and electric SUV variants that significantly reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency. For example, models like the Hyundai Tucson combine powerful performance with the ability to drive in electric mode, reducing fuel consumption while delivering a quieter, environmentally responsible drive. Electric SUVs are increasingly becoming a symbol of future mobility, combining innovation, comfort, and environmental care.
