Joao Pessoa streets are busy, and most roads are wide. Therefore, you can use a small standard car or a larger SUV. However, using a larger car is recommended because of poor paving on some roads. This is because SUVs are easier to drive on uneven roads and different weather conditions because of their traction. However, your car hire agency can help you choose the best vehicle, depending on the condition of the road to many tourist destinations. Other things to consider choosing a car are fuel consumption and safety features.

Maintaining the required speed limits when using car hire in Joao Pessoa helps to improve road safety. The speed limit in residential areas, playgrounds, and school zones is 30 km/h (18 mph). If driving on main avenues, the maximum speed is 60 km/h (31 mph). When driving on main highways, the speed limit is between 80 km/h (50 mph) and 110 km/h (60 mph). You can pay hefty fines if charged with speeding. Therefore, maintain the speed depending on speed limit signs in different zones of the city. In addition, there are traffic cameras that help to monitor driver behaviour and protect other drivers and pedestrians.

When parking a hire car, consider car parks in the city centre because they are near restaurants and streets. However, consider the rates, security, and permit before parking to avoid frustrations.

If you park outside the city centre, you can get into the city using public buses.
