Important information about Providence car rentals

There are at least a couple of car rental locations in Providence, with the best options for securing Providence car rentals available closer to the city center. Hop in your rental to enjoy some of the most interesting attractions in the city, such as the Roger Williams Park Zoo and the RISD Museum, part of the Rhode Island School of Design. With both public and private parking options in close proximity to many of the key locations of interest in the area, intracity access is, for the most part, fairly simple. This is also the case for journeying outside of Providence to other nearby cities. With major Interstates 95 and 195, travelers can easily hop on the highway and head out. The freedom granted by grabbing cheap car rentals in Providence also means you can plan these day trips to avoid the pre- and post-work rush hours.

Is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Providence?

Parking is available throughout Rhode Island’s capital city, so grabbing an economy car rental in Providence becomes a useful way to access exciting sites in and around the metropolis. In under a couple of hours’ drive, travelers can get to other major cities, like Boston, Massachusetts, and Hartford, Connecticut. Just make sure to avoid the highways during the couple of hours before the workday starts and the couple of hours that mark the end of the traditional workday, when traffic is heaviest. However, if you’re staying local to the city, you can explore many parts by vehicle, but may prefer to walk in neighborhoods like Downtown, Fox Point, Federal Hill or College Hill—all of which are inviting to pedestrians.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Providence?

Travelers who are hoping to grab one of the many available Providence car rentals will need to take care to learn the local traffic laws before hitting the road in The Ocean State. While driving here, it’s important to know that all passengers in a car, regardless of their position in the vehicle, must wear a properly fastened seatbelt at all times. Additionally, if a night out to the bars is on the itinerary, it’s best to opt for a taxi, since people who have a BAC (a.k.a. blood alcohol content) of 0.08% or higher are prohibited from driving. Violators will face heavy penalties. When driving on the highways, renters will want to pay close attention to posted speed limits, as the highway pace will drop on these roads as they near major cities. Individuals who have opted for car rentals in Providence should note that it’s best to check with the city’s department of motor vehicles for recent law changes.

Will I need a special driver’s license or permit to drive a rental car in Providence if I’m visiting from another country?

To obtain a rental car in Providence, all drivers must present a driver’s license that is both valid and government-issued. Additionally, a credit card that has a substantial available balance is also required. International travelers looking to secure a car rental in Providence will not need to get an International Driver’s Permit (IDP) for the privilege, but they will likely need to present their passports upon check-in with the rental company. Regardless of country of origin, all renters will need to be no younger than 21 years old. Companies may mandate that renters are at least 25, or will apply a young renters fee to renters who are younger than 25.
