What kind of car to rent in the Dolomites?

A 4x4 rental is most suitable for driving in The Dolomites, given the mountainous nature of the region. This is especially true if you're visiting areas like Passo Gardena and Passo Falzarego. However, it does not mean that it is the only rental you can acquire since most roads are in good condition.
