Swindon car hire

You shouldn’t anticipate having any trouble negotiating the streets of Swindon so your choice of vehicle remains a personal choice. Economy and compact cars tend to be the most popular hires and are great with petrol and parking, but can be limited in terms of storage and passenger space.

Unless otherwise indicated, travelling at a speed of 30mph within the town is the legal limit. There are a few 20mph zones in areas where cycle and foot traffic is higher than normal. If you encounter single carriageways roads, the speed limit is capped at 50mph and along dual carriageways the maximum is 60mph. Whereas on the M4 motorway, driving your Swindon car hire at 70mph is allowed.

There are nearly 30 public parking spots managed by the Swindon Borough Council. Of them, six are the on-street parking variety, with a maximum limit of 1h and a rate of £0.50 per 20min. If you have a large vehicle the multi-storey parking garages may be more suitable. Tariffs here start at £1.40 per hour and they are open from Monday-Saturday from 08:00-20:00. On-street parking is typically free after normal business hours (20:00-08:00) and is always free on Sundays and bank holidays.
