KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Carmarthen

  • When visiting Carmarthen, a car hire offers numerous advantages. Firstly, it offers the freedom to explore the stunning surrounding countryside, including the breathtaking Brecon Beacons and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Having a car also allows you to easily access nearby attractions like the historic Carmarthen Castle and the picturesque Pendine Sands. Additionally, public transportation options might be limited in some rural areas, making a car the most convenient mode of travel. So, for a truly immersive and flexible experience in Carmarthen, consider car hire in Carmarthen.
  • Carmarthen does not have its airport. However, for travellers visiting the area, Cardiff Airport (CWL) and Bristol Airport (BRS) are the closest options. At both airports, car hire offices are in the Arrivals area of the terminal buildings. Pre-book your car hire in Carmarthen online to ensure availability and secure the best rates. While there's no dedicated airport shuttle service, taxis and public transportation options are available to reach your desired location in Carmarthen if you're picking up your car in the city.
  • When choosing car hire in Carmarthen, be aware of the local road conditions and traffic regulations. Watch out for pedestrians and be mindful of their right of way, especially in busy areas. The city centre may have narrow streets, so exercise caution and be patient. Some roads may be shared with cyclists, so give them enough space. Take note of one-way streets and follow the signage carefully. Familiarise yourself with parking regulations and available parking areas to ensure a smooth parking experience in Carmarthen.
  • In Carmarthen, rush hour traffic can be congested during weekdays from 07:30 to 09:30 and 16:30 to 18:30. Expect delays on major routes like the A484 and A40 during these times. Additionally, during the winter, be cautious of potential snowfall and icy road conditions, particularly in rural areas and higher elevations. Some mountainous roads like the B4310 and B4320 may be more challenging to navigate, so drive with caution and consider weather conditions when planning your journey.
