KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bridgwater

  • Car hire in Bridgwater is a great opportunity to explore the busy inland port or drive through the West Quay, along Castle Street and King Square. Peruse the Georgian townhouses before heading out to some of the main attractions like the Bridgwater Blake Museum, the EDF's Hinkley Point Visitor Centre, and the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. You can do all of this without trying to figure out the public transport system or relying on someone else's schedule. Local taxis and city cabs can also be expensive so hiring a car will save you in the long run.
  • The nearest airport offering car hire in Bridgwater is Bristol Airport, which is about 40 minutes away by car. Nine national and international car hire companies provide services at the Bristol Airport and operate out of the car Hire Centre, located down the road by the Silver Zone Car Park. There is a free shuttle bus that'll transfer you from the airport to the centre on demand. Consider booking your vehicle online to avoid dealing with availability issues and to save time and money.
  • Driving in Bridgwater is as easy as driving in most places in the UK. The roads are well maintained and wide enough to accommodate all vehicle types. The traffic is aided by traffic lights and roundabouts. When entering the roundabout, the cars inside have right of way so you'll need to yield. If you're driving in the centre, pay attention to speed limits and be aware of pedestrian crossings. There are often bicycles on the road as well so take note of them.
  • There aren't many difficulties with driving in Bridgwater thanks to a good flow of traffic and well-maintained roads. Traffic can get a bit heavy during peak hours, so if you want to avoid getting stuck on the road for a few extra minutes, steer clear during the morning and evening commutes. Morning peak hours are usually between 6:30am and 8:00am, and the evening traffic is usually from around 5:30pm until 7:00pm. Other than that, you shouldn't have any problems driving in Bridgwater.

  • What’s the speed limit in Bridgewater?

    The speed limit in Bridgwater is the same as the national regulations so you'll need to be aware of them regardless of where you're driving.

Areas where children frequent, like schools, usually have a cap of 20 mph (32 km/h). When travelling on single carriageways, you'll be limited to 60 mph (96 km/h) and 70 mph (112km/h) on dual carriageways. The 70 mph (112 km/h) speed limit is the same on major motorways.

  • Where are the best places to park in Bridgewater?

    Finding parking for your Bridgwater hire car is relatively easy, but finding free parking isn't. There are at least 15 car parks located in and around the town centre, including places like Dampiet Street Car Park and Angel Place Shopping Centre. The majority of these parking spaces have a minimum charge and typically charge per 15 minutes that you've been there. During Sundays and Bank Holidays, there often won't be a charge incurred. There are also on-street parking options in the centre, where you'll have to pay at the parking meters for the time your car has been parked.
