Bath car rentals

Compacts and small economy cars are ideal for roaming around old cities like Bath whose downtown streets tend to be narrow and filled with tight corners. Larger passenger vehicles like SUVs and intermediate-sized saloons may be challenged navigating these roads, but if you’re travelling with a few relatives or friends they are ideal for maximum comfort.

Speed limits within the city of Bath are set at 20mph. You can drive faster along carriageways like the A367 and A3039, usually between 30mph and 50mph. On the A4 outside of the city you may proceed at a maximum speed of 60mph, but this decreases as it traverses through the downtown area. The speed limit along motorways like the M4 is set at 70mph. Major junction points always have traffic cameras and CCTV installed so reduce speed on the approach to avoid incidents or fines.
