Visitors that don’t plan on doing much driving during their time in Rochester may want to opt for an economy vehicle, as it is a budget-friendly choice that is particularly easy to navigate throughout the crowded city center. If you will be traveling with a group or plan on embarking on a longer road trip, a spacious SUV may come in handy, as it will provide you with extra space for both passengers and luggage.
Most Rochester car rentals do not provide or allow you to put snow chains on the tires of the rental car. It is unwise to take the initiative to attempt to put snow chains on the car yourself if the car rental company has said not to. You can cause damage to the car that you will have to pay for if you put them on incorrectly, if they slip, or if they are the wrong size. Opt instead to drive with caution and avoid the worst of the snow when you can.
Speed limits will vary depending on where exactly you are driving in the city. When driving in a residential or school area, you can expect the speed limit to be a maximum of 25 mph. Busy roads downtown also typically have a speed limit of 25 mph. Other streets within the city may have a speed limit of 30 mph instead. Expressways generally have a speed limit of 65 mph, which interstates often have a speed limit of 75 mph instead.
No, you cannot. The minimum age for renting a car in Minnesota is 21. In America, 18-year-olds can rent cars in Michigan and New York only. Though you can rent a car at 21 in Minnesota, there will most likely be certain kinds of cars you cannot rent unless you are at least 25. For example, Young Renters (ages 21 through 24) are usually not allowed to rent sports cars or luxury vehicles.
Parking ramps can be found all throughout the city, and they offer free parking on weekdays after 5:00 p.m. until 2:30 a.m. and on weekends from 6:30 a.m. until 2:30 a.m. Some ramps that are conveniently located within the city include the Center Street Ramp, Civic Center Ramp, and 1st Street Ramp. There are also eight city operated parking lots throughout downtown Rochester and they offer both hourly and daily rates. These lots are usually controlled by large yellow pay boxes.

Pros:
The car was clean. Pick up was a bummer. Drop off was easy.Cons:
I booked a full size car. They didn’t have a full size. They tried to give me an upgrade . . . Twice, but their computer system wouldn’t allow it. So, I got a downgrade. Then, they couldn’t honor the price that Kayak quoted. So I got downgraded and was charged more than I expected. I’ll never use Hertz or Kayak again.3 locations in Rochester
