KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Stoke-on-Trent

  • The capital of the English pottery industry, Stoke-on-Trent is affectionately referred to as "the Potteries" and is also the centre of culture and arts in the county of Staffordshire. A car hire in Stoke-on-Trent is the most flexible and exciting means to discover key attractions like lavish Trentham House and the Apedale Valley Light Railway for a sense of its history. Head north via the M6 towards Liverpool (57 miles) or Manchester (44 miles) if you seek a taste of big city fun to round out your experiences.
  • A Stoke-on-Trent car hire at Manchester Airport (MAN) is preferable if you intend to travel by plane and there are several international providers like Sixt, Hertz and National who can offer you a variety of vehicles for your travel needs. The airport’s Car Hire Centre is not located in the Arrivals Hall, but there is a dedicated bus stop just outside each terminal from which a complimentary shuttle picks up passengers every 10min and ferries them to the area.
  • Stoke-on-Trent is regarded as one of the UK’s most congested places which means that morning and evening rush hours could provide quite the challenge to unprepared drivers. Adding extra time for travel will depend on distance, but is a good way to stay on schedule whenever possible. Heavy congestion also means you should expect increased motorcycle, bike and pedestrian traffic, especially in the city centre where the A50, A52 and the Queensway crisscross the city.
  • Trends indicate that the 17:00-18:00 hour is becoming one of the busiest hours of the evening rush in the city of Stoke-on-Trent, which could make your outbound or inbound drive difficult if you’re on/near a major highway. Also, the luncheon period between 14:00-16:00 has seen an increase in slowdowns on city streets which should not be surprising. Expect the morning rush to be a bit of a crush getting out of the city, so avoid major thoroughfares between 07:00 and 09:00 if possible. The summer season is also particularly busy with cycles and visiting canal boats, which can further complicate traffic patterns.
  • Compact hire cars in Stoke-on-Trent are around 28% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Stoke-on-Trent

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Stoke-on-Trent?

    Unless it’s unavoidable, make your car hire in Stoke-on-Trent either a compact or small economy vehicle, as these are the best options to negotiate busy city streets and to find suitable parking. They are also great with fuel economy which helps if you’re stuck in traffic.

  • What’s the speed limit in Stoke-on-Trent?

    Driving your Stoke-on-Trent car hire along the city’s roads will be kept at around 30mph. This, however, will change along the nexus of major roadways that weave through Tunstall to Fenton. Speeds of up to 60mph are possible on sections of the Queensway while 50mph is normal along the A50, A52 and A53. Once you get onto the M53 settle in for a cruising speed of 70mph, except on nearby junctions and roadwork sites, and be mindful of traffic cams and CCTV which are common in such areas.
