A 4-wheel-drive car is certainly a wise option when visiting Rapid City, especially when planning to venture out into the National Forest. Good traction is required when driving up winding roads, or when driving on snow or ice. For the winter, check whether there is an ice scraper in the car, as you may need it.
Depending on the area, the speed limit within city limits is between 20 mph and 40 mph. Always check the posted signs and street markings. On rural roads drivers can go up to 65 mph, provided the weather conditions permit it, and 80 mph can be driven on most freeways and interstates, but there are exceptions close to urban areas.
Parking in Rapid City is a pleasant experience, as many city lots are free after 4 pm on weekdays and are entirely free on weekends.
On-street parking is often without any charge for the first few hours, like parking on Main Street, for example. But prices differ between operators and you can save money through a price comparison of car rental deals from different agencies. In the last 72 hours the cheapest rental car price was found at Enterprise Rent-A-Car Terminal Rd 9 miles from city center.
