When selecting your Whitehaven car hire, it is important to think about the type of vehicle you need for your trip. A smaller vehicle is a good choice if you plan to mainly stay in the town or explore the surrounding coastline. Smaller cars are easier to manoeuvre in town centres and use less fuel on shorter trips. However, if you want to take long drives around the Lake District, a larger vehicle that can perform better at higher speeds might be an excellent choice for navigating the area’s spacious, rural roads. A larger car will also give you more space for hiking gear, picnics, or cycling equipment.

Like the rest of the UK, the speed limit in built-up areas in Whitehaven is 30 mph. When you are travelling on rural single-carriageways, this speed limit increases to 60 mph and on motorways, the UK speed limit is 70 mph. Take care when driving in small towns and villages, as the speed limit can vary in urban areas.

Choosing car hire in Whitehaven is a great option because the town is well-equipped with car parks and secure parking spaces. Most car parks around Whitehaven are pay and display, and you will receive a fine if you do not have a ticket. In general, you can usually expect to pay around £2-3 for a 1h stay and around £6 for 24h. Most natural attractions and beauty spots around the Lake District have free car parks that are subject to availability.
