Top tips for renting a car in Youngstown


For a safe, straightforward trip around Youngstown, keep these tips in mind, from where to grab gas to the easiest places to park.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Youngstown?


Driving around Youngstown tends to be quite simple, with wide streets and light-to-moderate traffic. Road rules in Ohio are standard across the US — always drive on the right-hand side, obey road signage, stop at red lights and stop signs, wear a seatbelt, and adhere to local speed limits. In Youngstown, speed limits start at 20 miles per hour (mph) in school zones, followed by 25 to 35 mph in residential areas and the city center, 55 mph on two-lane roads, and 65 to 70 mph on interstates.


You cannot hold your phone while driving to text or use GPS in Ohio; only hands-free cellphone use is permitted. Additionally, the 'right turn on red' law applies throughout the state, permitting cars to make a right-hand turn at a red light after coming to a complete stop and checking the intersection for hazards. If you have your windshield wipers on in Ohio, you must also have your headlights on.


In winter, snow and ice are common, so take precautions when visibility is reduced and roads are slick, particularly on elevated bridges and roads near Mill Creek Park. While Youngstown's roads are usually well-maintained in these conditions, it pays to allow extra time when traveling, brake carefully, and use your headlights.


What is parking like in Youngstown?


Finding a parking spot in Youngstown shouldn't be hard, with a mix of street parking, surface parking lots, and garages scattered throughout the city. The Masters Lot is a convenient, central option, as is the Commerce Street Public Parking Lot. If you're visiting Youngstown State University, there are ample spaces to be found, including the covered Wick Avenue Parking Deck.


Are there toll roads in Youngstown?


There are no toll roads in Youngstown itself, which means no hidden fees and no waiting in line. However, the Ohio Turnpike (I-80) runs just north of the city and has tolled sections. If you plan on traveling to Toledo, Cleveland, or into Pennsylvania, you're likely to drive on the Turnpike, which can be paid for using E-ZPass or Pay By Plate. Chat with your Turo host before you set off to confirm the best way to handle toll payments.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Youngstown?


You'll find plenty of gas stations around Youngstown, as well as a growing number of electric vehicle (EV) chargers. For fuel, head to major roads like Market Street, Belmont Avenue, Mahoning Avenue, and South Avenue.


To charge up your electric vehicle on the go, take your pick of several options from providers like PowerCharge and ChargePoint in the city center. There's a handy charger located in the Western Reserve Transit Authority and another at the Youngstown State University campus.


Do I need to rent a car in Youngstown?


While Youngstown has a public bus network, routes are severely limited and mostly focused on the downtown area. For freedom to explore the Mahoning Valley or reach nearby cities like Akron and Cleveland, you're best renting a car during your time here. With your own rental on Turo, you'll have access to local parks, regional attractions, and neighboring towns without having to rely on anyone but yourself.
