They include Church Street, which runs through the center of the city and connects to Route 8 and I-84, State Street, which also runs through the center of the city and connects to a number of local streets and highways, and Grand Street, which is found on the east side of the city and runs north-south and connects to a number of local streets and highways.

  • Children below 8 years should be secured in an approved child restraint system that meets the child's height and weight requirements. The restraint system must be used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, whether it be a child safety or booster seat. Children who are 8 years old or older or who weigh more than 80lbs are permitted to utilize the seat belt system in the car. However, they must still be seated in the back seat of the car if they are under the age of 16.
  • Like many busy Cities, Waterbury also has traffic that requires you to be keen as you move through the city's busy streets. The presence of traffic cameras and checkpoints around the town indicates that the traffic police are on the watch for offenders. You, therefore, need to be careful as you drive in these streets to avoid knocking down the pedestrians who may be crossing the street.

They were 2 hours late for pick up and then told me there was nothing they could do to compensate me because I had prepaid. They eventually offered me a voucher towards a future rental but didn't disclose how much it would be for and I haven't received it yet. Don't book here if you value your time.

The first Hertz agent I talked to was forthright that he was waiting for cars, but didn't have any at the time of pickup.

Cons:

Changing the reservation time on the phone was easy - except there were no cars available when I tried to pick up the car! I asked them to call me and was ensured they would but they never did. I came back later that night and there still were no cars.

The check engine light and low tire pressure light was on the whole time and by the time we got to our destination (120 or so miles) the engine was making an awful sound. The Budget staff member who received the car was extremely disappointed that Budget would give us the car in the first place.
