Roads in St. Catharines are typically narrow, and the streets are brimming with vehicles. So, when looking for your car type to drive in the city, smaller vehicles are recommended to help you navigate the narrow, busy streets. In this case, consider a compact. Additionally, the smaller vehicle is cost-savvy when looking for car parks. However, if you plan to visit upcountry destinations, an SUV is a good option with a well-raised body to manoeuvre the uphill roads.
Beware of the varying speed limits when driving your car hire in St. Catharines. The speed limit on the multi-lane highway is 100 km/h (62 mph), and it's 80 km/h (50 mph) on most two-lane highways outside the city centre. The speed limit for major urban roads is between 60 and 70 km/h (37 to 44 mph), but the speed limit reduces to 30 km/h (20 mph) in school zones. When driving your St. Catharines car hire around built-up areas like residential and business districts is 50 km/h (30 mph). The city has posted speed limits. Be sure to abide by them.
You'll ultimately need car parks when driving your car hire in St. Catharines. While finding car parks shouldn't be challenging, it comes with stress worth avoiding. In that case, consider booking a hotel with car parks. Multiple hotels offer car parks if you reside on their property. Canada Best Value Inn St. Catharine, Best Western St. Catharines Hotel & Conference Centre, Hampton Inn St Catharines Niagara, and Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites St Catharines Hotel are worth considering. But if you opt for metered or garage parking options, downtown offers both convenience and affordability. Generally, parking your car hire in St. Catharines costs around $2 (about £1.17) per hour.
