Being such a small town, along with its many bicycles and its cobbled streets, if you're visiting on your own or with one or two others, it's best to stick to a smaller vehicle as your King's Lynn car hire option. This will allow you to more easily reach where you're going, particularly in the downtown district. Otherwise, you can hire a small sedan or saloon if there are more of you. You won't need anything more robust than that for road trips, either, as the roads in the area are generally good. For larger parties, you can hire something like an MPV for more room and larger windows for sightseeing.

The speed limit in the town centre is 30 mph, extending to 40 mph on wider roads outside the downtown area. You can travel at 50 mph or 60 mph on the motorways, but be advised that the town council has designated certain parts of the A47 to 40 mph. The local traffic police constantly carry out Roads Policing Action Days, where they're out in force to ensure adherence to the speed limits and issue spot fines. You'll also receive point deductions on your driving licence.

You'll find a number of multi-storey and street car parks in King's Lynn. There's a very good low-cost car park in central Church Street that starts at around £1.50 per hour. A pro-tip here is to arrive between 05:00 and 09:00. This qualifies you for an Early Bird price of only about £3.00 for the entire day. You can pay for your parking online without having to register an account, or pay by mobile phone using the council's SMS service.
