KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Lincoln

  • Historic Lincoln is a city famed for its rich Roman and Norman heritage, each having left potent evidence strewn across its landscape. Only with a car hire in Lincoln are you truly able to discover these ancient gems, especially those further afield. The East Midlands region is chock full of history, with much to uncover for the eager motorist. The city of Nottingham is 40 miles away via the A1 south, while the city of Sheffield lies 56 miles to the west along the A1. Perhaps you may prefer the charm of coastal town of King’s Lynn which is 52 miles south via the A17/A52.
  • Humberside Airport (HUY) is not a major one, but it’s the only airport in the county and only 32 miles away from downtown Lincoln via the A15. Avis and Europcar are two international providers at the airport, where you can obtain a hire car in Lincoln. The airport’s Car Hire Centre is located on the Ground Floor of the Arrival Hall, so just follow the signs.
  • Approx. 15,000 students attend the University of Lincoln situated just across the Brayford Pool from the city centre. For this reason alone, you should anticipate a heavy pedestrian footprint along with a generous amount of bicycles and motorcycles around the city centre area. The "hub" created where the A1434 connects with Pelham, Melville and Oxford Streets may be a danger zone during the morning/evening rush The B1308 (West Parade) is a major artery through the centre of town and could also experience delays along certain stretches.
  • The lifeblood of Lincoln is sustained in large part by its massive public administration programme and the tourist industry. This is a busy city on the go, so be prepared for a few issues with traffic from 7:00–9:00 across all areas of town, as well as all major outbound motorways A1434). An active afternoon period from 13:00–15:00 should also be expected, especially near the university. The A1434 hub once again becomes a key sticking point when residents make their way home, so the 17:00-19:00 period could be another long journey. Heavy traffic means active speed surveillance, so be vigilant whenever you’re on the road.
  • Local UK residents will need a valid driver’s licence, DVLA code or a paper copy and proof of address along with proof of insurance in order to book cheap car hire in Lincoln. International visitors must produce a passport and return ticket with their domestic driver’s licence, and we recommend non-European drivers carry an International Driving Permit, as it’s usually requested. A major credit card or bank debit card bearing the MasterCard or Visa logo can be used for payment, and ensure you bring your confirmation details if you made a prior booking.
  • Lincoln Railway Station is the destination for persons entering the city via mainline rail services, and there are a few nearby spots where you can pick up a Lincoln hire car. Lucy Street Tower Car Park has offices for Europcar, Sunnycars and Keddy by Europcar close by, but you can also find Enterprise and Avis locations near the Jump Inc Lincoln sports complex, just west of the city centre. Hertz and Sunnycars also have offices on Nettleham Road, between Lincoln Cathedral and Bishop Grosseteste University, if this area is more convenient.
  • Always remember to activate your hands-free mobile device, ensure your passengers are wearing seatbelts and drive on the left-hand side of the road when exiting the collection point. Driving under the influence of prescription drugs or alcohol is unlawful and endangers the lives of you, your passengers and other road users; therefore, exercise good judgment while operating the vehicle. If you’re feeling ill on the road or are involved in an accident, dial 999 for emergency assistance.
