Compact cars like sedans and hatchbacks are a popular choice for navigating the city center, as their small size allows for easy maneuvering through busy streets and traffic. For travelers looking for improved traction and handling in inclement weather or on uneven terrain at popular attractions like Peconic Estuary and Old Town Pond, it is recommended to choose an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle. This type of car is well-suited to exploring Southampton's nearby countryside, as its features provide better control in wet and slippery conditions. In addition, economy cars offer commuters in Southampton a practical choice for navigating the area with minimal expense.
The speed restrictions in Southampton are 20 mph for residential areas, in the city center, and around school zones. It is 55 mph for highways like Sunrise Highway and Montauk Highway. Visitors should recognize that speed limits are widespread and heed these regulations to avoid receiving citations or worse outcomes. Southampton places speed cameras strategically at popular locations, including nearby educational facilities and public parks. It is essential to recognize that speed restrictions may differ in adjacent communities and should be observed accordingly.
Locating parking in Southampton's city center can prove challenging, most notably during busy hours. There are multiple places to park within the city, from parking lots to street spots, though some may charge a fee. There are also several parking garages in and around Southampton, such as the West and East Main Street Lots, which offer a variety of rate plans ranging from one-time to monthly passes, and charges are up to around $3 for an hour. It is crucial to recognize that parking in restricted areas without permission is illegal, and overstaying in a designated space can also result in penalties. Those who desire a less complicated and affordable parking experience may find that parking outside the city center and using public transportation to get to your downtown destination is the better choice.

I rented a 12 person van and when I went to pick it up I was informed that they cancelled my reservation even though I received a confirmation email the day before. I had to rent a 8 person expedition that I had to put 10 people in for 4 hours. Also the car was extrely dirty and one of the seatbelts wasn't even attached. Will never use kayak or budget ever again. Thanks for a miserable experience.2.0 Poor

Cons:
I was able to make a reservation through kayak for Sunday-Sunday at water mill. This despite the water mill location being closed on sundays, unbeknownst to me. I had to pick up my car a day late, drop it off in a different location, and hertz tried to charge me double to rebook my reservation to accommodate the correct times. Totally unacceptable, basically a bait and switch.10.0 Wonderful
