Sorrento car hire

There’s little doubt that a small economy car or compact is the most affordable and agile type of car, but that doesn’t make it the most practical if you’re travelling with a party of five. For families or large groups of friends on holiday, an SUV or intermediate saloon offers more storage space and increased comfort for long hours on the road.

In the town of Sorrento, a speed of about 30mph is allowed along roads in urban areas. On secondary roads and in rural areas, this limit increases to about 55mph, while along main roads you should not exceed 70mph. On highways like the SS145 there is a maximum limit of 80mph. Be advised that there are many cameras and monitoring devices in use along main roads, junctions and in populated urban districts, so drive accordingly.
