Having your own car in Minokamo will give you more freedom to go wherever you want at your own pace. Maybe you’d like to skip town, hit the highway, and go where the wind blows. If so, book one of our full-size or mid-size SUVs and take a look at the bays in the area. If you just can’t get enough of the bright city lights, opt for something small. Getting around those busy streets will be a lot less stressful with a compact or mini car.

For some, owning a luxury vehicle is little more than a lofty dream. But renting your dream ride can easily be a reality! Imagine the thrill of rolling into town in a fancy sports car, even if it’s only for a short while. Or perhaps you’re just after a trusty set of wheels to bring you safely from A to B. Extravagant or economical? Whatever you decide, one thing’s for sure — there’s a rental car to suit you in Minokamo.

Driving around a new city doesn’t need to be a white-knuckle ride behind the wheel. If you’re on your way to Minokamo, get confident in the driver’s seat with these handy pointers:

The left-hand side of the road is where you’ll be cruising along in Minokamo. The controls of your rental vehicle here, such as the steering wheel, will be on the opposite side of what you’re used to.

Finding a place to park in Minokamo isn’t always a breeze. That’s why many travelers search for a hotel that has its own parking. When leaving the car around the city, make sure you read the signage. Overstaying the time limit could get you a big fine.

Since the population of Minokamo is roughly 51,500, you won’t experience too much trouble with traffic congestion. That said, downtown streets can get busy in the rush hours before and after work, so you may want to avoid driving then.

Yes, there are. In Minokamo, speed limits range from 30km/h to 100km/h. Residential areas have a default speed limit of 40km/h unless signed otherwise.

One of two things will happen. Your car rental company may charge the fined amount to your credit card. This is the more common practice. Alternatively, it may supply your contact information to the relevant local authority so the fine is issued to you directly.

As is the case in many places, normal cell phone usage is prohibited while driving in Minokamo. There is an exception for hands-free or Bluetooth capabilities. Just ensure you maintain focus on the road.

The legal BAC (blood alcohol content) limit when driving in Minokamo is 0.03%. If you’re planning a big night on the town, leave your wheels behind and organize a different way of getting home instead.

Turning on a red light is a big no-no in Minokamo. Always keep an eye on traffic signs and lights so you don’t breach any traffic laws.

They sure are. However, there are some exceptions for vehicles run by public transportation networks.
