When it comes to car hire in Redwood City, if you're planning to stick to the city and its suburbs, a small or mid-sized car is usually a good choice. These cars are fuel-efficient, easier to park in city spaces, and quite capable for city driving. However, if you're looking to explore the scenic coastal roads or the mountainous regions nearby, or if you're visiting in winter and planning to head to the snow, an SUV or a vehicle with all-wheel drive could be advantageous for their higher clearance and improved handling. Given Redwood City's location in the tech-forward Silicon Valley, you might consider opting for a hybrid or electric vehicle if you're interested in an environmentally friendly option.

The typical speed limit in Redwood City, California, is 25 mph. However, larger arterial roads might have speed limits set between 35-45 mph, while freeways, such as the nearby US 101 and I-280 could have speed limits ranging from 55 to 65 mph or possibly higher in some sections.

When it comes to parking, Redwood City is generally very straightforward, even for tourists. The Marshall Street Car Park offers the first 1.5 hours for free. After that, it's around $0.50 (£0.40) per hour, with a $12 (£9) maximum per day. Alternatively, the Jefferson Avenue Car Park also provides the first 1.5 hours for free. Again, it's $0.50 (£0.40) per hour, with a $12 (£9) daily maximum. Finally, if you're planning to take a day trip to San Francisco or San Jose, you might consider parking at the Redwood City Caltrain Station. Daily parking is around $5.50 (£4.20).
