Car rentals in Erie provide perfect ways to explore Erie. If you’re driving alone in the CDB, a compact or mid-range car will be just fine. If you want to travel and explore further away from the town, say, travel to places like Lake Erie, you may want to choose a 4WD vehicle.
Unless posted otherwise, drive below 25mph in nearly all Erie’s streets. For freeways and interstates under the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, the speed limits keep changing from place to place and at times temporarily lowered due to adverse winter weather conditions. For example, during winter, the speed limit of some portion of Interstates 79 and 80 may be dropped to 45mph.
Parking in Erie is hassle-free, and the charges are more reasonable. Erie Parking Authority manages all on-street maters, which are about 1400 distributed across the city. Costs range from around $0.25/20min to $0.25/h depending on location, further from the CBD being cheaper. The parking meters are programmed to accept either the American quarters or tokens. If they malfunction, you can pay online using a mobile application, MeterEZ.
The average price of fuel in Erie is £2.86 per litre over the past 30 days. Filling up a tank of fuel costs between £34 and £46, depending on the car size.

Cons:
The Kia car was extremely hard to get in and out of, hard to move the front seats and was dented when I got it, so it looked shabby. Budget did not discount it because it was dented, although they certainly would have charged me if I dented it!4.0 Mediocre

Some Erie car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Erie.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Erie car hire.
