When booking your car hire in Plymouth keep in mind the season you will be travelling in and whether you are sticking to the city roads or planning on travelling further into the Massachusetts state. A mid-size saloon is a popular choice for driving in Plymouth. It offers a good balance of comfort, fuel efficiency, and manoeuvrability, making it suitable for navigating city streets and highways. If you are driving in the winter months, then a 4x4 may be more advisable due to the snowy and icy road conditions.

The speed limit in Plymouth and other residential areas is typically 25 mph and in urban areas and business districts, the speed limit is usually 30 mph. When driving on most state and local roads outside residential and urban areas, the speed limit is typically 35 to 45 mph. However, always follow posted speed limit signs, as they can vary depending on the road conditions and location. On highways and interstates in Massachusetts, the maximum speed limit is generally 65 mph.

During your stay in Plymouth it is good to know that there are free parking areas, such as the free car park on Spring Lane, located within walking distance from several tourist sites, such as Grist Mill and the historic part of the city. Be careful because the car park can fill up quite quickly through the spring to autumn months. You can also find free street parking along Court Street (Route 3A), Main Street, Main Street Extension, Market Street and Depot Square. Here, the parking is only free for the first 2 hours.
