Poole car rentals

If you’re unsure about what type of vehicle is best for getting around Poole or areas beyond, you should consider that smaller compacts and economy cars are more fuel efficient and affordable than larger intermediate 4x4s and saloons. However, larger vehicles offer more storage and passenger capacity, which will matter if there are four or five people in your party.

Within the town of Poole, the legal speed limit is 30mph, but there are a few zones (built-up areas, hospital and school districts) where this limit is reduced to 20mph. The A35 is divided between dual carriageways (60mph) and single carriageway (50mph) sections, while on secondary roads like the B3068, speeds of 40mph are acceptable.
