Barnsley car hire is available at the airport terminal, which offers people carriers and vans - perfect for a family holiday! Other options for car hire in Barnsley that are closer to the city centre, and offer customers smaller options for inner-city driving. Most car rental companies saturated further away offer customers the option of a shuttle or pick-up service from the terminal to the rental depots. The closest major international airport is Manchester, where there are plenty of car rental options to choose from.
  • Barnsley is a major city in South Yorkshire so you have to keep an eye out for roundabouts. These are popular in English cities. Barnsley also has several one-way streets so make sure you look out for the road markings that indicate where these are and how to drive them. You also need to watch out for the many buses that operate the public transport system in Barnsley. Make sure you don’t end up blocking bus stops or bus lanes accidentally.
  • Anyone driving in Barnsley needs to take extra care, as the English city is considered to have one of the highest crime rates in South Yorkshire. It’s worth making sure your car is parked in a secure location at all times and that nothing is left in view when the car is stationary. Drivers should also take extra care of pedestrians and avoid areas where gang violence is a common occurrence. If you’re visiting in the colder months, Barnsley gets quite a bit of snow, which is something you’ll have to think about before opting to drive around the city.
