Stockton-on-Tees car hires from £22/day

You’ll need to take the heavy traffic into account when you’re choosing the right Stockton-on-Tees car hire option. Ideally you’ll want something small and nippy, to lessen the effect a little, but if that will be too small, then stick to a small sedan. The roads surrounding the city are good, so these will still stand you in good stead if you want to go driving around out of town to visit the nature reserves – you won’t need an SUV or MPV for that. If you’re only basing yourself in one of the outer suburbs in order to explore Durham, then you can get a more spacious saloon car, or something sportier even.
