It's quick and convenient to travel around Poland, making car hires in Rzeszow recommendable for visitors to the region. Rzeszow is connected by important motorways and expressways like the A4 to Krakow and the S19 to Lublin. Both are reached via ring roads, alleviating congestion within the city.

The A4 is an important motorway that runs from the Ukrainian border to Germany. Fully completed in 2016, it's an important cross-country route with tolled sections from Wroclaw to Krakow. There are no A4 tolls within the immediate Rzeszow area. Expressway S19 runs the entire stretch of the country from north to south, from Belarus to Slovakia. These national routes are complemented by national highways and scenic local roads leading deep into the Carpathian region.

The general limit is 50 km/h in built-up areas and 90 km/h outside built-up areas. Dual carriageways range from 120 km/h to 140 km/h on motorways.
