Because of the sometimes-narrow streets in Ridgecrest, renting a smaller vehicle is an excellent idea for navigating the dense traffic. Look for the smallest possible vehicle to overcome the traffic as best as you can. A smaller vehicle, like an economy car, will enable you to drive on narrow streets that larger vehicles can’t handle. You’ll also be easier on your budget because you’ll spend less on fuel and parking expenses. If you’re attracted to the city’s off-road destinations, an SUV will help you conquer those bumpier roads.
