Rockford car hire

When securing a car rental in Rockford, you’ll want to consider the driving conditions for the time of year. During the winter months, roads can get slippery with ice and snow. An ideal car for this time of year is an SUV. In an SUV, the driver sits up higher, which improves visibility, and the vehicle’s drivetrain is elevated, allowing you higher clearance when driving over any frost cracks in the roads.

The speed limits are dictated by the type of area through which you are driving. On highways, like the I-39, which runs north and south through Rockford, you’ll find the posted speed limit is around 65mph. On major routes where there are typically commercial buildings, you can expect limits to range between roughly 35mph and 45mph. Residential areas will be posted around 30mph, with speeds reducing to between 15mph and 25mph in school and hospital areas.

There are several parking lots and garages available to Rockport visitors. A handful of these offer free parking, but you will typically find that parking costs around $1.25 per hour. One well-located spot to park is the Wyman-South Garage on Elm St., between S. Wyman St. and S. Main St.
