Wakefield car hire

Given that you have alternative roads to take when traffic gets congested, you can book any type of saloon to get you around Wakefield. If you’re on a budget, or are going to be forced to travel along the busy roads in rush hour traffic, a more compact city car will probably be a better bet. The Yorkshire countryside is also worth exploring if you’re there on holiday, in which case book yourself a nice and spacious MPV.

You won’t always see speed limit signs in Wakefield, so always remember that the limit in the town itself is 30mph. What you will see are signs indicating that you’re about to enter a 20mph zone, so be on the lookout for those. When you’re heading out of the town to explore Yorkshire, then you’ll be at motorway speeds of 70mph.

The city council operates several car parks in the centre of the city, which cost a few pounds an hour across the board. These include Rishworth Street Car Park, which is open around the clock, Merchant Gate Car Park and Borough Road Car Park. If you’re at one of the large department stores, you can get free parking for up to 3h.
