Tips for renting a car in Watertown

Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Watertown, NY including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on Dezember 6, 2024.
  • Renting a car in Watertown will grant you the freedom to explore the region at your own pace. Unlike buses or trains, which follow fixed schedules and routes, a rental car will enable you to visit the region's attractions, such as Dry Hill Ski Area, Roswell P. Flower Monument, Honor the Mountain Monument, and Sci-Tech Museum. In addition, a rental car eliminates the hassle of waiting for buses or trains, especially if you have planned trips to multiple destinations. Furthermore, a rental car can be more time-efficient, as it reduces the time spent walking to stations, waiting for connections, and following the buses' or trains' rigid timetables.
  • In general, the roads in Watertown are adequately maintained. The city features severe winters, which can include heavy snowfall and subzero temperatures. Consequently, local authorities place emphasis on snow removal and road maintenance to guarantee safe and accessible roadways. In addition, potholes are repaired on time during the warmer months, and road maintenance is performed regularly throughout the year to address any signs of deterioration. The city's dedication to road maintenance enables vehicles to navigate Watertown's thoroughfares with minimal difficulty and inconvenience. It is important to note, however, that extreme weather conditions, such as heavy precipitation or ice storms, can still temporarily affect road conditions, requiring drivers to exercise extra caution.
  • In Watertown, the morning and evening commutes account for the two peak times of day for rush hour. Morning rush hour often occurs between the hours of 7:00 am and 9:00 am, as people make their way to work, school, and other daily obligations. This is peak commute hour, so expect delays on key thoroughfares like Route 11 and Arsenal Street. It's common for evening rush hour to begin at 4:30 pm and linger until 6:30 pm. At this time of day, traffic is at its peak as people are making their way home from work or other obligations. Plan your journeys in advance to avoid getting stuck in traffic.
