Middlesbrough car hire

Given that so many of the busiest Teesside A roads are in Middlesbrough, it might be a good idea if you’re travelling alone to hire a compact car, or a saloon that’s similarly fuel-efficient if you’re with a couple of other people. For Middlesbrough car hire, you also want a vehicle that you can drive nimbly through the busier sections, especially when you need to respond to unexpected pedestrians. These will also easily take you to the nearby tourist attractions outside the city, as the roads are good and there’s no need to go off-roading to get to the rural ones either.

Middlesbrough is another UK city that has adopted 20mph zones, so expect to be slowed to by speed signs as you’re approaching these zones. The speed is rigidly enforced in these areas, and you’re sure to encounter speed cameras more often on some roads than others. These include The Avenue in Linthorpe, Trimdon Avenue in the suburb of Acklam, and Hall Drive, once again in Acklam. In the city centre outside these zones, you can revert to the standard 30mph speed.

You can find free parking in Middlesbrough provided by the local council authorities. They’re limited to two parking areas, however – the one in Captain Cook Square and another in Ferry Road. Otherwise, there are plenty of pay-to-park zones in the city centre, such as Amber Street Car Park, where you’ll pay around £2 an hour.
