Since Wakefield is a suburban town with various local roads, compact or midsize car rentals in Wakefield are generally a good choice. These cars are easier to maneuver through city streets and find parking in residential areas. If you're visiting during the winter months, consider renting a car with all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive to handle potential snowy or icy conditions. Depending on your travel plans, ensure the rental car has enough storage space for your luggage and any items you plan to bring along. If your trip is for a romantic getaway, a luxury car can be a great choice.

In residential neighborhoods and areas with homes and businesses, the speed limit is typically 25 mph unless otherwise posted. Speed limits in school zones are usually reduced during school hours, typically to 20 mph or lower.

On highways and major roads outside of residential and school zones, the speed limit is typically 45 mph or higher, depending on the specific road and posted signage.
