KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Brighton
- While it is not strictly necessary to have a car in Brighton, nothing beats the freedom of not having to worry about public transport timetables. Having a vehicle at your disposal allows you to go wherever you want, whenever you want and gives you much greater flexibility and independence. Car hire in Brighton will be especially advantageous if you intend to use Brighton as a base for exploring nearby attractions.
- If you are heading to Brighton, chances are you will be coming in from London. All the London airports have a wide range of car hire services, and offices representing major agencies are located in the arrival halls of all the airports in the city. As it is usually more expensive to hire from the airport, it is a good idea to book online before arrival. Most agencies are happy to send a representative to pick you up at the airport and take you to your car.
- With regard to car hire in Brighton, Brighton is a small, pleasant seaside town and the rules of the road are much the same as they are in other countries. As is the case elsewhere, you should be careful to wear your seatbelt at all times and obey traffic signs. Driving is on the left, as it is in Australia, and most drivers can drive for up to 12 months in the UK on a foreign driver’s licence. Although Brighton is quite small, it attracts a lot of visitors and this can cause heavy traffic at times, so be prepared for this.
- There are few serious difficulties involved in driving in Brighton; although, there are certainly some hassles to be aware of. Traffic is orderly, but the roads can get very congested, especially in the summer due to tourist traffic. Cycling is very popular in the city, and you should take note of cyclists as well as pedestrians at pedestrian crossings, but these do not generally present major issues. Several streets in Brighton are pedestrianised and closed to vehicles, so you should also take note of these areas. The main issue with driving in Brighton is that it is a small city that attracts a lot of visitors, and this can sometimes cause frustration both with driving and when trying to find parking space, which you may want to take into account when considering Brighton car hire.
- Book your car hire in Brighton at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini car hire in Brighton are around 28% cheaper than other car types, on average
