If you're only going to drive around the town and not venture out too far, consider a small, compact model since they're lighter on fuel and easy to manoeuvre. For the typical visitors who plan on venturing out through the Kent AONB, get yourself a nice SUV or 4x4 to manage the winding roads.

The speed limit in Sittingbourne is based on the national speed limit in the country and will be the same as most places you drive in England.

There are a few roads that'll have a higher cap of 40 mph (64 km/h) and others with a lower cap of 20 mph (32 km/h).

Finding parking in Sittingbourne can be a little difficult. There is plenty of on-street parking available in and around the town centre, especially in the shopping areas, but because it's free, they're usually snapped up quite quickly. You might need to drive around the block a few times until something opens up. There are a couple of car parks available that'll charge you for the time you spend there; Bourne Place Multi-Storey Car Park is a popular choice, and so is parking at Sittingbourne Station.
