Springfield car hire

An SUV is a convenient model to choose for a rental car in Springfield, as the city’s roads are large, giving you plenty of space to weave through traffic. This type of vehicle will also come in handy if you’re driving in the rain, snow, or ice, as it will give you stability. If you decide to go on a long drive for something like a hiking trip, an SUV will also provide you with extra space to stay comfortable, as well as room for your recreational equipment.

In residential and business areas, you’ll find that the speed limit is generally around 25mph, while near schools, it’ll almost always be 20mph. In more remote parts of the city, there may be roads that have speed limits closer to 30 or 40mph. Local highways generally have a limit of 65mph, but on certain stretches of road, it may be less. Many of the major intersections in Springfield have traffic cameras, so make sure to always follow the laws to prevent being pulled over.

While you may be able to find some free street parking in the city, most of the spaces downtown have meters. If you’re not able to find any street parking, you can opt for a paid parking garage, such as the Municipal Parking Garage on 7th Street or the Springfield Downtown Parking Garage at Old State Capitol Plaza.
