New Bern's major roads are well-built and well-maintained, allowing any type of rental car to be driven comfortably throughout the city. However, scenic drives in and around the city necessitate vehicles capable of handling the rough terrain. If you're on vacation and want to take a road trip to these beautiful locations, we recommend renting a four-wheel-drive vehicle to avoid getting stuck. A compact car is also a smart choice for a pleasurable city driving experience, as it makes parking and navigating around the city easy.

Speed limits in New Bern are determined by the type of road you are driving on. You can anticipate posted speeds on major urban and rural interstate routes to range between 45 mph and 70 mph.

The speed restriction is further lowered to 25 mph in residential, school, and hospital areas.

In New Bern, drivers can find designated on-street parking, parking lots, and parking garages. If you don't want to walk but still want to park for free, there are a few free street parking spaces in the city center. However, most of these only allow you to park your car for 2-3 hours. If you anticipate taking longer, consider paying to park in a parking garage such as Union Point Park or the Harbor Beach parking lot.
