Newbury car hire

Choosing the ideal hire car depends on the number of passengers and your budget considerations. For example, small economy cars and compacts are more affordable and maybe more fuel-efficient, but they are not recommended for parties of five or more persons. In such cases, an SUV, estate car or intermediate saloon offers a more comfortable ride and larger storage capacity than the other classes of vehicle.

The legal speed limit for operating car hire in Newbury within the town precincts is 30mph, but there are specific zones (residential districts, and around schools and hospitals) where this is reduced to 20mph. Driving through rural areas, 40mph is allowed, while along single carriageways the limit is 50mph. If you’re on dual carriageways the legal speed is 60mph, and driving on motorways carries a maximum speed of 70mph. Caution is advised near major junctions, along major roads and in high-population districts where CCTV and traffic cameras are in constant operation.

Time limits vary from 1h to 4h according to location and tariffs range from around £0.50 to £1 per hour depending on where you park. Operating hours in surface and multi-storey long-term parking are from 08:00 to 18:00, Monday to Sunday, with a tariff of about £1.50 per hour.
