KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in King's Lynn
- Booking car hire in King's Lynn has numerous advantages. Not least of them is the freedom to explore the town and the surrounding area of West Norfolk without being tied to public transport timetables and routes. You'll have the independence to visit tourist attractions whenever it suits you, like the Watatunga Wildlife Reserve with its woodlands, home to rare species of birds. Or go and see Sandringham House and Gardens, the royal family's country retreat.
- If you're flying to this part of Norwich, you can organise car hire in King's Lynn either at Norwich Airport (NWI) or Stansted Airport (STN). They're almost equidistant from the town, with driving times of about 1h 11min and 1h 40min, respectively. Both airports host branches of some of the most popular car hire companies. The car hire centre is conveniently located in the main terminal building at Norwich Airport. If you land at Stansted, you'll find the Car Rental Village just outside the main terminal.
- King's Lynn is an old town that still retains its original narrow cobbled streets from around the 15th century in its central district. While you can drive on them, it's far preferable to park nearby and walk to your destination. Cycling is a very popular way of commuting in the town, so keep a sharp lookout for them if you've organised car hire in King's Lynn. The same goes for the many pedestrians you'll find in the town centre.
- King's Lynn isn't a particularly difficult town in which to drive. The locals observe the rules of the road and are generally alert and polite, always happy to let you into a busy road from a side street. This is largely because Norwich as a whole has numerous road safety courses that residents take. That said, some roads are more hazardous than others when it comes to speeding drivers, such as Saddlebow Road, and the A47 motorway, just to the east of the Hardwick Roundabout.

What type of car is recommended for driving in King's Lynn?
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.

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.
