When it comes to driving in Kingston, it's important to choose a car that is suitable for both the city's roads and the surrounding terrain. We recommend renting a compact SUV as these cars offer a good balance of size, maneuverability, and off-road capability. They are small enough to navigate the city's narrow streets and tight parking spots but still have enough power and ground clearance to handle the city's hilly terrain and occasional unpaved roads.

The default speed limit within the city limits in Kingston is 50 km/h (31 mph). In residential areas, school zones, and construction zones, the speed limit is often reduced to 40 km/h (25 mph). On some arterial roads, such as Bath Road and Princess Street, the speed limit is typically 60 km/h (37 mph). However, in some areas, the speed limit may be reduced due to traffic or other safety concerns. In rural areas outside the city, the speed limit is typically 80 km/h (50 mph) on two-lane highways and up to 100 km/h (62 mph) on four-lane highways.
