Car rental in Williamsville

In contrast to the UK, remember that in the United States you drive on the right-hand side of the road. Another difference is that distances and speed limits are measured in miles per hour (mph), not kilometres. In Williamsville, the general speed limit is 30 mph within the village, unless otherwise posted.

Car Hire Recommendations

Depending on the time of year and your travel plans, a mid-size car is often the best choice for Williamsville. The smaller size is practical for parking in the village centre, while still comfortable for exploring the wider Buffalo-Niagara region.
