If your driving in a city and never break 45mph then overall risks change significantly.<p>I drive a relatively small car for the US, and it&#x27;s about the minimum I would consider safe at 70MPH.  But, if you are spending 98% of your time in the city then simply renting a larger car becomes very viable.  You can rent a mid size SUV at ~600$ per week and for a longer vacation you can upsize for minimal cost.  Further, if your flying somewhere your car becomes meaningless anyway.<p>PS: Remember a tiny electric could end up saving you 250+$ &#x2F; month.
