KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Norwich

  • When selecting cheap car hire in Norwich, why not try out an electric vehicle? If you’re concerned about price and your impact on the environment, then hiring an electric car is the best way forward. They are easy to charge and energy efficient, and much cheaper to run than a petrol engine car as filling those up can be costly. Norwich has an extensive network of electric car charging stations, which makes it convenient for electric car owners to travel around the city and beyond without worrying about the battery range. There is a website called "Zap-Map," where electric car owners can search for charging stations, check availability, and reserve charging spots in advance.
  • After you’ve sorted your cheap car hire in Norwich and you’re looking to sample the delights of Norwich’s bars and restaurants, it’s important to know about the drink-driving law, before you have one too many. It is illegal to drive a motor vehicle if you exceed the limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. Penalties can be severe, including a 12-month driving ban, a fine of up to £5,000, or prison time up to six months.
  • Now you’ve got your Norwich car hire, make sure you know the vehicle restrictions in the city centre. For instance, Norwich city centre is part of a low emission zone, meaning certain vehicles are prohibited to enter during certain times of the day. Furthermore, there are a few pedestrianised areas in the city centre, including parts of Gentleman's Walk and St. Stephen's Street. These areas are closed to traffic during the day, so you should look out for signs and barriers to avoid entering them.
  • Why bother with train timetables when you can set your own travel schedule with a car hire in Norwich? Plan your itinerary to include walking trips to Norwich Castle and Norwich Cathedral within the city centre before heading out for an extended drive around Norfolk and East Anglia. A great alternative involves taking the A47 East down to Lowestoft. It’s about 28 miles each way including a nice stretch of coastline from Great Yarmouth with a few towns you can explore at your leisure.
  • Reserving your hired car at Norwich Airport (NWI) allows you to hit the ground running because it’s less than 5 miles from the downtown area. The Norwich car hire centre is located on the Ground Level of the Arrivals Hall to your left just before the exit, or just behind the taxi rank when you enter the building. Avis, Budget and Hertz all have offices there for your convenience so picking up your vehicle should be a hassle-free experience.
  • Like most UK cities, Norwich has an intricate network of small streets and primary roads connecting to the city centre. The A147 is an inner ring road, which encircles the vibrant heart of the metropolis making it especially vulnerable to congestion from vehicular traffic. You should also expect heavy pedestrian and bike contact from tourists and college students when driving around the downtown area. Delays may also be experienced along the outer ring, which includes the main motorways A146 (south), A1042 (north), A47 (east) connecting Norwich to greater Norfolk and East Anglia.
  • Aside from the normal 7:00-9:00 and 17:00-20:00 weekday rush hour traffic, you will also encounter heavy flow on Saturdays during the football season. For die-hard fans, all roads lead to the A147 and Carrow Road Stadium, where the Norwich Canaries play their home fixtures. If you’re in town during this time, it’s a good idea to be familiar with game times so you can adjust your travel schedule appropriately.

FAQs about car hire in Norwich

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Norwich?

    Small economy cars always hold the advantage of being easier to park and manoeuvre around busy city streets. That said, if you’re not flying solo look to a standard, intermediate or SUV vehicle to provide adequate room and comfort for your travelling companions.

  • What’s the speed limit in Norwich?

    Norwich is another UK city that has a 20mph speed ordnance for all motor vehicles within city limits due to a high number of accidents, road fatalities, and ever-increasing pedestrian traffic. However, speeds of 30mph are allowed on the A147 to reduce congestion. As a rule of thumb, all UK single carriageway motorways like the A11 and the A1151 allow a maximum speed of 60mph, while dual carriageways like the A47 and the A146 increase to 70mph. Junction points are primed with CCTV and traffic cams, so be vigilant when driving your Norwich car hire through these areas.

  • Where are the best places to park in Norwich?

    Outside the city centre, street parking is free in non-restricted areas. Within the city limits you’ll have to pay anywhere from £1.70 to £2.50 per hour to park on the street depending on the zone. Tickets should be prominently displayed to avoid fines. There are several pay and display garages downtown where you can leave your Norwich car hire while you explore the city on foot.

Per Carrentals.com e-mail (below) the Norwich airport Europcar office was open till 5pm on April 7th. It actually closed at 1pm so we could not hire the car from Europcar. When phoned, Europcar did not offer an alternative arrangement and we had to get a cab from the airport to hire a car from another company . This was a most unsatisfactory experience. Will compensation be offered. Sincerely John Baer Itinerary # 72472189887229 Confirmation 1156739790 Protect your rental car from collision damage, theft or vandalism.

Pros:

James was very professional, courteous and delivered excellent customer service. The way Enterprise deals with the damage policy and the fuel policy is both fair and boast common sense. As long as the costs remain good and competitive, I will continue to use Enterprise and recommend you to everyone. Thank you for an excellent car hire experience.

Car hire insurance in Norwich

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver

Some Norwich 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 Norwich.

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 Norwich car hire.
