Top tips for hiring a car in West Sussex

  • A driver must be in possession of a valid driving licence and must have held said licence for at least one year at the beginning of the hiring process. For foreigners, one must produce a current driver’s licence from their home country and an International Driving Permit, where applicable.
  • Hiring a car will enable you to explore West Sussex easily. From the spectacular Harting Down to the northwest roads to the South Downs area, enjoy the flexibility and convenience of driving yourself around. However, take note of the set speed limits depending on your location. For instance, the maximum speed limit is 70 mph (110 km/h) on dual carriageways and motorways, while the speed limit on main single-carriageway roads is 60 mph (95 km/h). you’ll be expected to drive at a speed limit of 30 mph (48 km/h) in urban areas. Always drive at a moderate speed in areas where the speed limit is not signposted.
  • If you’ll be staying in a city, it’s important to note that most streets can be pretty narrow, which makes an economy or a compact model a wise bet. If you want more comfort, hire a saloon car, and if you’ll be travelling as a group, choose a minibus or an MPV.

Also, remember to always buckle up with all passengers in the car and install authorised child seats for safety purposes.
