When you choose your Southsea car hire, it’s important to consider the type of driving you want to enjoy during your stay. Southsea has spacious, well-maintained roads, making it ideal for driving a standard-size vehicle or even a large vehicle, like an SUV. The roads around Southsea are also mainly motorways, so you may want to avoid smaller cars that cannot perform well at high speeds. However, if you plan to stay mostly within Southsea itself, a compact car will be great for parking at crowded, tourist spots.

Before you pick up your car hire in Southsea, make sure you familiarise yourself with the local driving laws and speed limits. The speed limit in Southsea is generally the same as other parts of England, and speed limit signs are displayed in mph.

If you are driving on dual carriageways or on the motorway, the speed limit is 110 km/h (70 mph).

Southsea has numerous paid car parks located in and around the town centre and near the seafront. A 2h stay in a Southsea car park usually costs between £2-4.
