Ask you hotel for what they recommend.

There is a wide selection of rental car companies at the airport. Named Brands are better than unknown carriers. Just remember, the cars are going to be smaller and will not be automatic unless you request it. They will also have larger cars, like minivans or SUVs, but they might be a tight squeeze on the narrower streets in town. 

​

Parking on the side streets is usually free. There are a couple paid parking lots and on the main streets there is metered parking . If you are driving, please reach out to your respective hotels on where it is best to park.

If you are coming for a short time you might not want to bother with the hassle of renting a car and driving on smaller roads.

However, if you prefer to travel to different cities and have the freedom of having a car, then definitely rent. Some Companies need an international driving license to rent.
