When considering Oakville car hire, a mid-size or full-size car is recommended. Oakville's streets are generally wide and accommodating, allowing for comfortable navigation with a mid-size or full-size vehicle. Additionally, if you plan to venture into the surrounding areas like Niagara Falls or Toronto, a car with a bit more space and comfort is ideal. However, if you're primarily staying within the city centre, a compact car hire in Oakville would be suitable for its small streets and parking availability.

Pay attention to posted speed limit signs as they may vary depending on the area. It's important to note that speeding in a hire car can result in penalties and fines, which you will have to pay when you return the car.
