OK forget the price, no matter whether you pick sub compact, compact, or compact sport, all of these cars look the same size.

Not being able to find any info on their interior headroom on Google, can someone tell me what order you'd put them in from small to large based only on head room. I don't need a car to hold 4 people, just one tall dude. (6'2") Prices jump 10-12 dollars per day to get from one tiny car to the next. You have to go up to midsize or so to see any real difference and then the price really jumps.

So, what's the difference between all of these. They all say 4 passengers but vary on price. Some are compact and some are sub compact but they look too similar.

I found them at Andy's, Marshal's and Avis car rentals.

We had a Suzuki Alto. It was fine for headroom. I'm 6'1" and I still had clearance. We fit 3 full sets of gear in the car without a problem. The seats fold down in the back. It's also a hatchback so that makes it convenient.

dive safe,

The Diahatsu Charade is a golf cart pretending to be a car... hence the name, Charade. I love them though, and wouldn't rent anything else on GCM.
