Old cities tend to have more narrow roads than their contemporaries, so a compact car is a smart way to get to explore nooks or crannies, which may be off limits to larger vehicles, and is easier to handle where parking is concerned. Large parties will be more comfortable in an intermediate, SUV or people carrier, so choose the option which works best for all concerned.
The legal speed limit for the city of Portsmouth is 20mph. On main drags like the A2047 and A3, speeds up to 50mph may be possible in your Portsmouth car hire heading out of the city. If your route heading in takes you onto the M27 or M275 then the maximum speed allowed along these major motorways is 70mph.
Portsmouth City Council offers several parking garages around the city, like the ones at Clarence Esplanade and Alec Rose Lane, where you can park your vehicle for about £1.80 per hour. On-street parking may be difficult to obtain considering the dense population especially in the downtown area so keep a few pay and display locations in mind just in case. Using the Harbour Car Park leaves you closest to Portsmouth Harbour and from there you can ride the ferry to the Isle of Wight. Parking over 5h costs about £12.00 and a return ticket on the ferry runs about £18.50 per adult.
