Given that you have alternative roads to take when traffic gets congested, you can book any type of saloon to get you around Wakefield. If you’re on a budget, or are going to be forced to travel along the busy roads in rush hour traffic, a more compact city car will probably be a better bet. The Yorkshire countryside is also worth exploring if you’re there on holiday, in which case book yourself a nice and spacious MPV.
You won’t always see speed limit signs in Wakefield, so always remember that the limit in the town itself is 30mph. What you will see are signs indicating that you’re about to enter a 20mph zone, so be on the lookout for those.

Some Wakefield car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Wakefield.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Wakefield car hire.
