Stockton-on-Tees car rentals

You’ll need to take the heavy traffic into account when you’re choosing the right Stockton-on-Tees car hire option. Ideally you’ll want something small and nippy, to lessen the effect a little, but if that will be too small, then stick to a small sedan. The roads surrounding the city are good, so these will still stand you in good stead if you want to go driving around out of town to visit the nature reserves – you won’t need an SUV or MPV for that. If you’re only basing yourself in one of the outer suburbs in order to explore Durham, then you can get a more spacious saloon car, or something sportier even.

The speed limits in Stockton-on-Tees are strictly enforced, with a 30mph speed limit in the city centre. On roads further out you can travel at 40mph. You should be very careful of mobile speed cameras on certain roads that are regularly subject to traffic calming measures. One of the most prolific roads for this is the A1046 Port Clarence Road, with Queen Elizabeth Way Southbound not too far behind.
