When booking your car hire in St. George's, keep in mind that it is a small city located on a hilly island with narrow roads and occasional steep inclines. Given the narrow roads and potential challenges with parking, a compact or mid-size car would be a practical choice. These vehicles offer better manoeuvrability in tight spaces and are easier to handle in urban environments. In addition, St. George's has some hilly areas, so a car with good suspension will provide a smoother and more comfortable ride. This is especially important if you plan to explore the surrounding areas or drive on roads with varying conditions.

When driving your St. George's car hire, keep in mind that the speed limit in urban areas, including St. George's, is typically 40 km/h (25 mph). This limit helps to ensure the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles sharing the road in densely populated areas. When circulating on the rural roads outside St. George's and other urban areas on the island, the speed limit is generally set at 50 km/h (31 mph). This limit allows for smoother traffic flow and accounts for the varying road conditions in rural areas.
