The type of car recommended for driving in Harpenden can differ, depending on your needs and the time of the year you visit this town. Generally, though, a small car is recommended to aid you in manoeuvring the narrow streets of Harpenden and parking in tight spaces. We recommend a larger car if you prioritise comfort and stability over anything else. Big cars have more legroom and luggage space and are great for road trips.
In built-up areas, the speed limit in Harpenden has been set to 48 km/h (30 mph) to prioritise pedestrian safety and reduce the risks of accidents. The speed limit goes up to 112 km/h (70 mph) on motorways and dual carriageways. These speed limits may change depending on the roads, so ensure you keep an eye out for speed limit signposts when using car hire in Harpenden. Additionally, special zones like residential areas have a speed limit of 32 km/h (20 mph).
It is a good idea to park your car in one of the city’s street parking if you need to explore the town centre and market on foot. These car parks are ideal for short stays (30 minutes to 2 hours). If you plan to stay longer, we recommend an off-street car park. Available options include Amenbury Lane, which charges £1 for 2 hours, Waitrose Harpenden, which charges £15 for 2 hours, and Harpenden Station, where you will pay £4.20 for 2 hours.

Some Harpenden 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 Harpenden.
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 Harpenden car hire.
