Finding parking for your Bridgwater hire car is relatively easy, but finding free parking isn't. There are at least 15 car parks located in and around the town centre, including places like Dampiet Street Car Park and Angel Place Shopping Centre. The majority of these parking spaces have a minimum charge and typically charge per 15 minutes that you've been there. During Sundays and Bank Holidays, there often won't be a charge incurred. There are also on-street parking options in the centre, where you'll have to pay at the parking meters for the time your car has been parked.
