KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Walsall
- Discover the convenience of booking a hire car on your next trip to Walsall. Not only can you explore this unique Staffordshire town and all it has to offer, but you’ll also gain the freedom to venture further afield. The vibrant and bustling city of Birmingham is only 20min or so away, or you can choose to visit the picturesque Shropshire Hills, which are reachable within 1h 30min. Car hire in Walsall allows you to make quick and easy trips to and from Birmingham International Airport, whereas public transport could take more than double the amount of time and passes through the busy centre of Birmingham.
- Birmingham International Airport (BHX) offers a variety of car hire firms to choose from. You’ll find the likes of Avis, Sixt and Europcar at the arrivals area in the main terminal (between Costa and Wrapchic) among other companies that you can see on KAYAK. Pick up your car hire in Walsall next to Car Park 4, which is only a 5min walk from the car hire desks, and be in Walsall within 35min.
- Walsall is a large town on the outskirts of the second largest city in the UK. As such, traffic does tend to clog up during rush hours, with people moving in and out of the city. Finding your way around the built-up areas can require extra concentration and you may find adding a sat nav to your care hire in Walsall especially useful. The M6, one of the UK’s busiest roads, runs right by Walsall and is often jammed with traffic. It’s advisable to avoid this area during peak hours and check any traffic alerts before travelling.
- Rush hour tends to be between 07:00-09:00 and 17:00-19:00 on weekdays but can last longer on roads like the Broadway surrounding Walsall and leading onto the M6 towards Birmingham. Always allow extra time when travelling to catch a plane as delays can be unpredictable even outside of rush hour. In the winter, snow can cause congestion and heavy rain is common, so you may need to adjust your speed and pay extra attention when driving in these conditions.
- Book your car hire in Walsall at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
