Once again, it’s the snow that you’ll have to bear in mind most when booking car hire in Derby. Make sure you hire a vehicle with high-traction tyres if you’re visiting in winter. An MPV or SUV will do you nicely, and a 4x4 will be even better. However, if you stick to the many gritted roads throughout the city, you’ll have no problem in a decent sedan, or even one of the smaller ones. Outside those times of the year you can expand your choice, but just be aware that you may have to deal with potholes caused by the snowy winter conditions.
Speed limits are pretty strictly enforced in Derby, and they’re well signposted so you won’t be able to claim that you weren’t aware of them. In the centre of town and residential areas, don’t go faster than 30mph. On the single-carriageway arterials like the A50, you can travel up to 60mph.
The centre of Derby operates on a pay-and-display basis. These restrictions are in place between 08:00 and 18:00, which means that you can park for free on any of the streets at night. You will also only be able to park for 2h at a time in the town centre. Recommended parking areas include Willow Row, Stuart Street and Wardwick.

Car hire should be economical. Make note of your itinerary in Derby and how much time you will be behind the wheel. If it is not significant enough for a full tank, make sure you don’t opt for the full tank policy, as you won’t get a refund on unused fuel. Instead, ask for the full-to-full policy as this lets you only replace what fuel you used in the car before you return it.
When driving in the UK you will notice the car seat rules for children are very strict. Children need to be strapped into car seats in the back of the car. Babies under 9 kg will need backwards-facing car seats. Babies under 18 kgs will need front-facing car seats and toddlers and children under 135 cm will need a booster seat. Don’t panic if you don’t have one, your car hire company can rent one out for a daily fee and install it in the vehicle for you.

Some Derby car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Derby.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Derby car hire.
