SQL vs Access Database in local companies

[Patrik]

In a small company (let's say a car rent company or appartments rent) where you have to deal with lot of data and users, is it preferrable to use microsoft access (easy to handle) or SQL database ( can be easily managed with Visual Basic )

Structured Query Language (SQL) is the standard and most widely used programming language for relational databases. It is used to manage and organize data in all sorts of systems in which various data relationships exist.
While...
Access database is an information management tool, or relational database, that helps you store information for reference, reporting and analysis.
Microsoft Access is quite easy to use.

You are very correct, I think majority of people prefer to use SQL as compared to Microsoft Access, reason been that SQL as more functionality than that it Microsoft Access. Although Access is simple to use
