When it comes to choosing from Gilroy car rentals, we recommend renting a car that is suitable for both city and rural driving. The ideal car for this area should be comfortable and spacious enough to handle long drives, while also being efficient enough to maneuver through city traffic and fit into tight parking spots. Therefore, we suggest choosing an intermediate SUV as it is versatile enough to handle different terrains such as hills, uneven roads, and unpaved surfaces, while also being fuel-efficient for city driving.
The speed limit is usually 25 mph on residential streets with homes and businesses in Gilroy. On major roads within the city, the speed limit ranges from 35 to 45 mph, depending on the traffic density and surrounding development. In some areas, highways may intersect the city, and speed limits can increase to 65 mph. The exact speed limits are usually posted with speed limit signs, and it's always important to obey the posted speed limit to ensure safe driving conditions for all road users.
Gilroy has several options for parking, including both free and paid parking. If you're visiting the downtown area, there are several street parking spots available but most of them have time limits of 1-2 hours. If you plan to stay for a longer time, consider parking in one of the several public parking lots near the downtown area. The city parking lots have different rates, where the first 2 hours are free, and subsequently, the hourly rate is around $0.50 - $1.00 per hour. There is also paid parking available at designated parking lots. In these cases, the parking fees depend on the location and can range from $5 to $10.

Pros:
Nothing.Cons:
The location I was given to pick up the car was closed, and had been for months. The next closest Hertz did not have any cars available. I had to go to another car rental company entirely. I don't know how the system allowed me to make a reservation here. I had to spend an hour on the phone afterward to be sure I got a refund for the whole ordeal.8,8 Very Good

Pros:
The Watsonville enterprise office cancelled our rental 2 hours before we were supposed to have picked it up. Their office gave no alternatives, despite the fact that we had the vehicle reserved for 3 weeks ahead of time.Cons:
I had to do the work of tracking down a replacement vehicle at the last minute. Al, who works at the enterprise on Ocean St. in Watsonville, did an amazing job to help us. He stayed past closing time to get us a vehicle in time.8,4 Very Good

Pros:
The staff was friendly and helpful. I booked online at the last minute and when I arrived the employee changed my vehicle to something more appropriate for my needsCons:
I was absolutely floored at the added expense for a one-way rental, pick up and dropping off in different locations.10,0 Wonderful
