Peoria car hire

If you're traveling to Peoria for business matters and intend to stay within the city, a standard or full-size car will serve you well, depending on your required capacity and budget. If you intend to venture out into the city's rural areas, you may want to get an SUV from Peoria car rentals, as rural areas can be filled with gravel and potholes. Most of them are crumbling at the edges due to bigger trucks and farm equipment placing pressure on them for prolonged periods.

When driving a rental car in Peoria, keep in mind that the state of Illinois requires a maximum speed limit of 30mph on residential streets, and there are many of those in Peoria. You need to maintain a speed limit of 15mph in alleys, 65mph on highways with at least four lanes, and 55mph on other roads, streets, and highways. Maintain a limit of 20mph on school zones, and be wary of traffic cameras and speed cameras in various parts of the city.

Once you get to Peoria, you'll find parking meters on city streets enforced from 8am to 6pm, Monday through Saturday. These meters have a parking time limit of 2h, and it's illegal to deposit additional coins once you reach your limit. Expect to pay approximately $1 per hour. Most parking meters are not enforced during public holidays. You'll also find parking lots at the Civic Center, and you can expect to part with about $10 per space.
