Yonkers car hire

New York City is one of the most crowded cities in the world, so you will have a much easier time getting around Yonkers and the surrounding area with a smaller vehicle like a compact or economy car. Yonkers is only 20 miles from the heart of New York City, but the fuel economy of a smaller vehicle will help compensate for the time waiting in traffic. You will also have a much easier time finding parking in Yonkers or New York City with a smaller car.

As is the case with many suburbs surrounding major cities, Yonkers places a heavy emphasis on enforcing the speed limits along streets that parallel or border the highways taking commuters to and from their place of work. There are over 25 red light cameras throughout the city, particularly along major roads, including Central Park Avenue and Yonkers Avenue, so do not risk the ticket if you come across a yellow light. The highways and toll roads surrounding Yonkers generally have speed limits from 55mph to 60mph due to the heavy urban area, so be sure to monitor your speed if you are coming from a rural area where you are accustomed to faster speed limits on freeways.

There are a variety of parking options throughout Yonkers, with metered street parking costing about $1 per hour. In New York City, there are four parking garages available in which commuters can purchase spots on a monthly basis or longer. These include the Buena Vista Garage and Ludlow Garage. If you are planning to park in New York City, it’s wise not to anticipate any available street parking.
