Do you face high gas prices or heavy traffic on a daily basis? As a fleet driver, would you consider your city driver-friendly?
Based on several factors, some U.S. cities are easier to drive in than others. Looking at the 100 most populated U.S. cities, WalletHub, a personal finance website, ranked them according to the costs of car ownership and commuting — in terms of time, money and safety.
Then WalletHub looked at these cities across 21 key metrics, including average gas prices, average annual traffic delays, rates of car theft, auto maintenance costs and parking rates. Each city was ranked by “costs,” “traffic and road conditions,” “safety” and “driver & car wellness.”
