Medford car hire

Like any standard city in the U.S., Medford can be comfortably driven in all sizes of vehicles. In fact, trucks and SUVs are quite common even in the densest parts of the downtown area. Parking is also a non-issue, as parking spots in the city are large enough for all vehicles. However, if Medford is just the first stop on a road trip, then a smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicle might be something worth considering.

Speed limits in Medford start out at a low of 20 to 25 mph in residential areas and 30 to 50 mph on urban roads. Outside the city, the speed limit ranges from 55 to 70 mph on rural roads. Interstates, on the other hand, typically post speed limits of 65 to 70 mph.

In downtown Medford, core parking is mostly comprised of on-street parallel parking and metered parking spots. There are a few scattered parking garages and parking lots, but for the most part a combination of streetside parking with private parking at businesses accounts for the majority of parking volume. Parking spots in the garages are generally free for the first hour or two and then charge between $1.00 to $2.00 per hour for additional hours.
