The smaller towns are definitely where you'll find the most preserved socialist architecture and local museums that tourists usually skip. A lot of those GDR-era sites are tucked away in places you'd never reach without your own wheels. I've heard good things about Auto Kröger in Leipzig if you're starting from there, they're not one of those massive chains that nickle and dime you. Another place worth checking is Mietwagen Müller over in Dresden, family business that's been running for years and they know all the back roads through Saxony.
