KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Winchester

  • Winchester is one of the great medieval towns of England, with many landmarks and historic buildings such as Winchester Castle and Winchester Cathedral. Bus and rail links connect it to other regional centres, but only car hire in Winchester allows you the freedom to explore the town and roam the English south coast at your pleasure and convenience. Farley Mount Monument and Viewpoint are located approximately 6 miles (9.6 km) west of Winchester via Sarum Road, while the city of Southampton and its famous port lies about 13 miles (21 km) south via the M3.
  • Southampton-Eastleigh Airport (SOU) is the international gateway to Winchester and it has a car hire centre, so you can conveniently pick up a vehicle after landing and drive the roughly 8.5 miles (14 km) from the terminal to town. Located a short walk from the International Arrivals exit, the centre is staffed by major providers like SIXT, Europcar and Avis/Budget, offering a comprehensive range of late-model compacts, luxury saloons, SUVs and people carriers to suit your tastes and needs. Bear in mind, the minimum age to hire a car at the centre is 21 and providers routinely impose charges on drivers under 25 years old.
  • When driving your Winchester car hire, it’s good to be aware of a few basic road rules. Drive the vehicle on the left-hand side of the road, and before leaving the pick-up location, check all passengers are wearing seatbelts and connect your hands-free mobile. It is illegal to operate a car hire in Winchester under the influence of drugs or alcohol, so drive responsibly at all times. Dial 999 if you or another motorist experiences an emergency on the road.
  • Generally speaking, congestion is a worry for any motorist, and the M3 is the major artery for inbound and outbound traffic to Winchester. The interchange with A272 outside Winnall is susceptible to tie-ups during the morning (around 7 am-8 am) and evening (about 7 pm-8 pm) rush hours. Also, the roundabout near Westgate Museum usually gets crowded on weekday afternoons between 1 pm and 3 pm, especially during the summer months when there’s an overall increase in pedestrian and vehicular traffic downtown.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Winchester for $40 or less
  • Small rental cars in Winchester are around 51% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Winchester?

    Compact cars are suited for driving around the town’s narrow streets and offer economy to singles/couples. However, if you’re a family of five or more on holiday, then a full-sized saloon or SUV is definitely a better choice, since it provides more seating and cargo capacity. You should also consider that compacts and economy cars are better suited to narrow roads with tight corners in the city centre, and it’s harder to find on-street parking for vans and people carriers.

  • What are the speed limits in Winchester?

    When driving your car hire in Winchester, 30 mph (about 50 km/h) is the limit through residential areas; though, reduced speeds of about 20 mph (about 30 km/h) are common around school/hospital zones. 60 mph (about 90 km/h) is the recommended speed on single carriageways and on roads through rural areas, while 70 mph (about 115 km/h) is the max speed allowed on motorways and dual carriageways. CCTV cameras are in wide circulation around the city, so obey the speed limits and traffic signs at all times.

  • What are the best places to park a car in Winchester?

    For visitors with accommodations in Winchester, an establishment with on-site parking facilities is always a wise option. On-street parking is free where it can be found but may be subject to time limits. Feeding a parking meter is your next best option, unless you find a public parking garage with affordable all-day rates. Parking tariffs can be paid using cash, card or via mobile apps such as RingGo.
