Exclamation What type of rental car should I get?

So once my car goes into the shop im going to get a rental car (paid by the truckers insurance). So what clasification of car should i get? You can also narrow it down to possible make/model if you like, assuming that the standard rental place would have it.

Don't care if its 2/4 door.

Don't really need to haul anything around

Will have the car for 2-4 days depending on how long the body shop takes.

Don't want or need a truck either.


Here are a couple links to two rental sites with the clasifications
https://www.enterprise.com/car_rental/showVehicles.do
http://www.alamo.com/?iataNumber=AL0...-_-rental_cars

any other ideas or links are welcomed


edit: Would the insurance company also pay for gas? Either gas card or compensation?

I'd take the free one.

They typically give you something comparable to what you were driving (standard size)
anything above that is extra.
