A compact vehicle is a convenient model to choose for your rental car, as it’ll help you weave through the busy streets of the city, especially roads that are on the more narrow side. Parking can also be limited, and a compact car will allow you to squeeze into tighter spaces.
In residential and business areas, expect the speed limit to normally be around 25mph, while roads that are near schools almost always have a speed limit of 20mph. If you’re driving in more remote parts of the city, you may find that the maximum speed limit gets up to 35 or 40mph. On highways, the maximum limit is generally close to 70 or 75mph, but it varies depending on the specific stretch of road that you’re driving on. Highways in this region are known for having police officers that frequently patrol, so always keep your eyes open and follow traffic regulations. Many of the city’s main intersections have traffic cameras as well.

On the other hand, you are only allowed to turn left at a red light if you are leaving a one-way street and joining another. Making a U-turn on a curve, hill, or intersection is restricted, and they attract a fine of around $210 and $153, respectively.

Pros:
the staff (Tanisha?) was very friendly and personable when i picked up the vehicle. She also waited a few minutes after closing time for us to arrive. When i called and asked if we could return the vehicle to the airport, she was very accommodating and asked about how our visit was with our grandchild. She's a good representative for Hertz!Cons:
The new location was hard to find as there wasn't a sign at the road or at the entry to the shopping center. A sign is needed at both i and the customer who followed me had a hard time finding the location. I understand this is a new location and perhaps there hasn't been time to install a sign, but it's needed. thanks.9.6 Wonderful
