When choosing Gettysburg car rentals, a compact or midsize car is recommended. The roads in Gettysburg are generally well-maintained, and traffic is not typically heavy, so a small or midsize car is ideal for navigating the town's streets and finding parking in the downtown area. Additionally, while there are a few hills in the area, they are not particularly steep or challenging. Therefore, a compact or midsize car with moderate horsepower should be more than sufficient for the types of roads and terrain found in Gettysburg.

The speed limit within the borough limits in Gettysburg is generally 25 mph on local residential streets, but it may go up to 35 mph on major thoroughfares such as Route 30. In rural areas outside the borough, the speed limit on most roads is 55 mph. On highways and expressways such as Route 15 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, the speed limit is generally 65 mph.

If you are planning to visit the downtown area or the Gettysburg National Military Park, it is recommended to plan for paid parking as it can be difficult to find free parking spots during peak tourist season. Metered parking on the street typically costs $1 per hour, while parking garages and private lots may charge a higher daily rate of around $10-$15. Some private lots may offer discounts for multiple-day parking. If you are looking for free parking options, there are a few areas outside of the downtown and park areas where free parking is available. One such area is the Gettysburg Outlet Mall, which offers free parking for shoppers.
