Gdansk car hires from £8/day

Coupes, sedans, hatchbacks, and compacts are certainly the best vehicle options for visitors looking to rent a car in Gdansk. The reason for this is that Gdansk, like many European cities, has fairly small roads and is densely populated. These two factors combine to make smaller cars much better at navigating the city than trucks or SUVs. Driving a smaller car will also make fitting into streetside parking spaces much easier.

Speed limits in built-up areas vary by the time of day with the daytime limit set at 50 kph (31 mph) and the nighttime limit set at 60 kph (37 mph). In residential areas the speed limit tends to start at 20 kph (12 mph) and on motorways the speed limit is 140 kph (87 mph).

If you are visiting the downtown area, there are plenty of parking garages and lots to fulfill all of your parking needs. There is also streetside parking available throughout the city, including the downtown area. In general, drivers will find that their best option for parking is streetside parallel parking unless they are in the city center.
