KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Welwyn Garden City
- Welwyn Garden City is a relatively modern town situated in the county of Hertfordshire. The town has strong commercial links due in large part to the excellent road network that surrounds it.

- In Welwyn Garden City the B195/Campus Ring Road in the heart of the downtown area tops the list of trouble spots for morning and evening traffic congestion, followed by the Mundells/A1000 circular to the immediate north-east. Anticipate high pedestrian activity during mid-afternoon hours around The Campus where Oakfield College is located; along Bridge Road East, a prime retail thoroughfare; and near the Gosling Sports Complex, especially on evenings and at weekends.
- Rush hours in Welwyn Garden City will peak between 07:00 and 08:30 and again from 18:00 to 19:30.

Evening inbound patterns reverse this flow with congestion increasing the closer you are to downtown. From 13:00 to 15:00 the area around The Campus is ground zero for high levels of overall traffic due to the busy lunch and retail period, and you should avoid driving along Bridge Road during these hours for the same reason.
