If you’re looking for cheap car hire in Bodmin, you will benefit from driving a compact vehicle. Not only will you be able to navigate busier and narrow streets with ease, but a smaller vehicle is also useful for parking in tighter spaces. Cornwall is a very hilly county, so, if you’re planning on escaping to the countryside, you will most likely want a more powerful vehicle. An SUV is a great choice, as it offers superior grip and handling, with many also offering 4x4 capabilities.

Make sure you adhere to the speed limits in the town, or you are likely to be prosecuted by local police. This could result in a fine, driving suspension, or even imprisonment. Driving at the correct speed also reduces the risk of accidents. In Bodmin itself, the speed limit is set at 30 mph. However, outside schools and hospitals there are normally signs for 20 mph, so be sure to follow these accordingly. Outside the town, the maximum speed is 60 mph on rural roads, with the upper limit being 70 mph on dual carriageways.

You’ll find parking easy in Bodmin, which is ideal for those looking to park their hire car. For example, the Bodmin Beacon Car Park is free to use and is only a short walk to the hiking trails and also the town centre. Alternatively, you can use Priory Car Park, which is located just off Turf Street. This car park costs about £1.50 for the whole day, so is great for anyone looking for a long-term parking solution. Scarletts Well Car Park is slightly further away from the centre of the town, but is completely free.
