  • Most streets in the city are well-paved, marked, and with clear crossroads, but driving car rentals in Algonquin can be tricky because of the busy streets.

Despite driving a vehicle with quality tires, always maintain a safe distance between vehicles, drive slowly, and keep the headlights on to increase visibility.
