  • When driving cheap car rentals in Kingston, there are a few things to keep in mind. While drivers in Kingston are generally calm and respectful of the rules, there are times when they can become aggressive. This is especially true during rush hour when traffic can be heavy. Kingston has designated bike lanes and you should be aware of cyclists when driving and give them enough space to maneuver. In addition, sedans and SUVs are the most common vehicles on the roads in Kingston. However, there are also quite a few pickup trucks and commercial vehicles on the roads.
  • Rush hour in Kingston tends to be from 7:30 am to 9 am in the morning and from 4:30 pm to 6 pm in the evening on weekdays. During these peak hours, there can be congestion on major roads like Bath Road, Princess Street, and Gardiners Road. The 401 Highway can also experience slowdowns during these times, as commuters travel to and from nearby cities like Toronto. Moreover, winters can make driving cheap car rentals in Kingston difficult, as the city averages over six feet of snow each winter. Main roads are usually cleared relatively quickly, but side streets and less-traveled roads can take longer to be cleared.

We recommend renting a compact SUV as these cars offer a good balance of size, maneuverability, and off-road capability. They are small enough to navigate the city's narrow streets and tight parking spots but still have enough power and ground clearance to handle the city's hilly terrain and occasional unpaved roads.

However, in some areas, the speed limit may be reduced due to traffic or other safety concerns. In rural areas outside the city, the speed limit is typically 80 km/h (50 mph) on two-lane highways and up to 100 km/h (62 mph) on four-lane highways.

Jeeps are fun to drive!

Cons:

the kiosk was at the train station but we had to wait for the guy to bring a car and then get our vehicle from the train station home for the duration of our trip. it added about an hour and a half to get it all sorted which put us behind on our eta. we reserved a small car but got the Jeep and while it was fun to drive oh my word the extra cost on gas was crazy :(
