KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Doncaster

  • Depending on your specific needs and preferences, you can add several extras to your Doncaster car hire. Among them is a GPS navigation system. If you're unfamiliar with the area or want to ensure you stay aware, you can add a GPS to your hire car. Also, if travelling with young children, you can add child safety seats to your hire vehicle to ensure their safety and comfort. If you plan to share driving duties with someone else, you can add another driver to your hire car agreement. These extras not only enhance your comfort while travelling but also ensure that you have the best possible experience.
  • Opting for cheap car hire in Doncaster will allow you to visit more new destinations in a limited time and enhance your comfort throughout the journey. Compared to public transport, a Doncaster car hire will take less time to complete the trip between two locations. Among the locations you can visit easily with your vehicle is Yorkshire Wildlife Park, roughly 7 miles from the Doncaster shopping centre. It will take about 10min to complete the journey instead of the roughly 30min a bus would take to make the same journey.
  • A valid driver's licence is one of the requirements for obtaining a cheap car hire in Doncaster. If you are not from the United Kingdom, you will need an International Driving Permit (IDP) or a driving licence from your home country written in English. If you want cheap car hire in Doncaster, you should be at least 21 years old. Some hire companies, however, may have a minimum age requirement of 25 years. Additionally, it's always a good idea to ask the car hire company about limitations to their fleet, such as distance restrictions from the city.
  • Choosing to book car hire in Doncaster will not only give you the independence to set your own schedule; it will also enable you to drive out of town to visit some of the tourist attractions across Yorkshire. The Yorkshire Wildlife Park is one such destination, about 5.5 miles away from the city centre. It has become home to rescued exotic and endangered animals from all over the world, so it’s a good cause to support as well. Another great place to visit is the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum, with its interactive exhibits. And then there’s one of the city’s greatest claims to fame, Doncaster Racecourse. It’s family-friendly and known as one of Europe’s finest.
  • The nearest airport to Doncaster is Doncaster-Sheffield Airport, but only a handful of smaller airlines operate regular flights in and out of it, and only to and from specific cities. You’re more likely to land at Humberside Airport, and from there it’s very easy to sort out your pre-booked car hire in Doncaster. You’ll find a good few of the major brands at the airport, such as Avis and Europcar, which are both situated in the arrivals hall in the main terminal building.
  • Possibly one of the most important things to look out for when you’re driving around the centre of Doncaster is the many primary schools in the area. This applies outside of school hours too, due to all the extracurricular activities, so be careful at all times during the day. At night time, keep an eye out for young revellers who frequent the popular nightclubs. Residential roads are obviously quieter, but once again, it pays to drive carefully as some of the back roads can have limited visibility.
  • You can expect the usual sort of urban rush hour in Doncaster, beginning at around 07:00, peaking at 08:00 and tailing off until around 09:00 depending on the day of the week. In the late afternoon, the pattern repeats, starting at around 15:30, becoming very congested at about 16:30 – 17:00 and petering out from around 18:00. At these times, avoid the Meadowhall area, particularly on the M1 The other road to steer clear of is the A635.

Car hire insurance in Doncaster

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver

Some Doncaster 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 Doncaster.

Deductible

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 Doncaster car hire.
