Dover car rentals

The type of car hire in Dover to choose will be dictated by the amount of traffic in the area where you’re intending to stay. If you prefer to be in the centre of town, then a city car or a compact saloon or saloon are the obvious choices, along with a smallish MPV. Once you’re driving on the B roads around the countryside your choices open up: you could get a larger SUV or 4x4, or treat yourself to a luxury or sports model.

Speed limits in Dover vary quite extensively depending on the traffic and pedestrian density in the different parts of the town. There are zones here: in the city centre and built-up areas it’s generally 30mph, with some roads marked as 20mph zones. On the more outlying roads you can go up to 40mph, while the larger carriageways that flow in and out of the city have a limit of 50mph.

The council provides free parking all over Dover. Main car parks include the two at Kearsney Abbey, and St Martin’s Battery. However you’ll have to take public transport from the adjacent bus stops, as these are around an hour’s walk from the centre of town. You can expect to pay around £2.60 for 2h at car parks like the one on Maison Dieu Road (a 3-minute walk to the town centre) and Ladywell, 5min away.
