KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Ramsgate

  • Car hire in Ramsgate provides you with the means to come and go as you please, which isn’t always possible with other modes of transport. With buses and trains you will have to abide by the timetable and sometimes your journey won’t be direct. For example, if you drive to Wingham, you can get there in about 24min. The alternative option includes a bus and train, which takes in excess of 1 hour.
  • Southend Airport (SEN) is one of the closest airports to Ramsgate, with it being approximately 56 km (35 miles) away. After passing through border control and getting your luggage, you will have a wide range of car hire companies to pick from. For instance, Turo is located inside the airport terminal. You will need to complete the paperwork, show ID, and finalise payment before your Ramsgate car hire provider takes you to your vehicle.
  • Using a car hire in Ramsgate, you’ll see it’s a popular seaside town that welcomes many tourists throughout the year. As there are no jaywalking rules in the UK, it’s important you take care when driving through the centre of the city, as people are likely to cross the roads in areas that aren’t designated for pedestrians. As cycling is a popular sport in England, you should also keep checking your mirrors, so you are aware of any cyclists close by.
  • When driving a Ramsgate hire car, you will see the town gets very busy with traffic during the summer months. This only increases during rush hour, when locals are travelling to and from work. This tends to be from about 8:00 to 9:00 in the morning and again from 17:00 to 18:00 in the evening. Try to avoid driving at these times if you don’t want to get stuck in traffic. The A299 is one of the busiest roads in the area, which is best avoided if possible. An alternative road to take would be Manston Road, which goes in a similar direction.

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

    If you want a cheap car hire in Ramsgate, it’s a good idea to opt for a small vehicle. This will help you travel from one place to the other in the town and is perfect for days when traffic is busier. A compact vehicle also makes parking much easier, especially in tight spaces. If you want to travel to the countryside then a larger vehicle, such as an SUV, is a good choice. These offer superior handling and traction control, so you can drive with confidence.

  • What’s the speed limit in Ramsgate?

    If you are caught speeding, you will be prosecuted by the local law enforcement. Should you get snapped by a speed camera, then your car hire agency will charge you for the fine and also pass the information over to the police. To avoid any issues, don’t go faster than 30 mph in towns, or 20 mph outside of schools and hospitals. When driving in the countryside, it’s important you stick to the national speed limit, which requires you do not exceed 60 mph. Whereas 70 mph is the speed limit for motorways and dual carriageways.

  • Where are the best places to park in Ramsgate?

    There are many places that you can park in Ramsgate, making it convenient for those with a hire car. For example, you can go to the Royal Harbour Car Park, which costs about £1.40 per hour or £7 for 15 hours. This is open 24/7 and has 394 spaces and designated disabled spaces.
