KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Canandaigua

  • Car rentals in Canandaigua have several advantages over public transportation. Getting a car rental in Canandaigua allows visitors to move around at their own pace, following their trip itinerary, without the constraints of fixed timetables that accompany public transportation. The flexibility and convenience of Canandaigua car rentals prove valuable when exploring off-the-grid attractions, like the Canandaigua Lake or the scenic Granger Homestead and Carriage Museum, which might not be easily accessible by public transportation.
  • Incoming visitors will likely arrive through one of two main airports: Greater Rochester International Airport (ROC) or Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR). ROC offers a range of car rental options from companies like Enterprise, Europcar, Alamo, and Budget. Car rental counters are located on the lower level, adjacent to the baggage claim area. If you arrive through SYR, you can access several rental agencies, such as SIXT, Avis, and Hertz. The rental car agency offices are on the first level of the center terminal.
  • Driving car rentals in Canandaigua is a pleasant experience, as the roads, streets, and highways are well-maintained. However, there are certain areas where Canandaigua car rental users should be mindful. In downtown Canandaigua, there might be jaywalkers, so drivers must remain vigilant and watch out for people crossing the road. Additionally, during winter, snow and icy conditions can pose challenges for car rentals in Canandaigua, especially on hilly streets like Buffalo Street. Car rental users should ensure their vehicles have winter tires to ensure safe driving during adverse weather conditions.
  • Canandaigua car rental drivers may encounter traffic challenges during peak hours. Traffic congestion runs between 7 am and 9 am and 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm on weekdays. Highways like Main Street, West Avenue, and Routes 5 and 20 may experience heavy traffic delays during peak congestion hours as they serve as major commuter routes. To navigate traffic while driving car rentals in Canandaigua, drivers should consider alternative routes, such as Lakeshore Drive or County Road 10, which experience fewer traffic hold-ups.
  • Small hire cars in Canandaigua are around 17% cheaper than other car types, on average

    A Medium car hire in Canandaigua costs R1 526 per day, on average.

  • What is the ideal car for driving a car rental in Canandaigua?

    For larger groups or travelers with more luggage, booking a minivan is ideal. Minivans provide ample space, comfortable seating, and enough space for luggage. On the other hand, a bigger car like a Chevrolet Tahoe or Nissan Kicks would be ideal for adventurers looking to explore off-road destinations like the Barragem da Bravura. SUVs offer better traction and handling on diverse terrains.

  • What is the speed limit when driving a car rental in Canandaigua?

    The speed limit typically ranges from 55 to 65 mph on highways and major roads outside the town. On Route 5, Route 20, and significant roads near Canandaigua, drivers are not allowed to exceed 65 mph. However, if you're driving on downtown avenues and streets, the speed limit reduces to 25-35 mph, promoting safer driving conditions within the town. The speed limit reduces to around 20 mph in pedestrian-heavy areas like near public parks. When driving a Canandaigua car rental, drivers should adhere to these speed limits to avoid violations and potential accidents.

  • Where are the prime parking locations for car rentals in Canandaigua?

    Drivers in Canandaigua car rentals have various parking options within the town. For those exploring downtown Canandaigua, convenient parking can be found at places like the Canandaigua City Parking Lot and the Commons Parking Lot. You can also access on-street parking on major avenues and streets such as Main Street and West Avenue, but it may be limited during busy hours. Alternatively, private parking lots within the town, like the Canandaigua City Parking Garage and the Pinnacle North Parking Garage, offer convenient parking near popular areas.

Our overall experience was excellent. Good price, friendly staff. A bit slow for pick up and not the most comfortable seats. But overall we were very pleased.

The car needed an oil change as soon as I started driving and I had 500+ miles to drive.
