Hiring a car will give you the flexibility and independence to visit all the places you want in your own time. Car hire in Brighton will also enable you to reach all the best spots in the area that public transport doesn’t cover, like the wonderful Bluebell Railway, a working steam passenger railway preserving the heritage of the era, a few miles’ drive outside Brighton. There’s also a llama park in Ashdown Forest, roughly a 30min drive from Brighton.
You have a number of choices when it comes to booking Brighton car hire from the premium operators in the UK, such as Europcar, Avis, Budget and Hertz. Many offer complimentary transport from Brighton City Airport (ESH) in Shoreham to their branches in central Brighton, 6 miles from the airport, or you can take a train, bus or taxi to the city centre. Another alternative is to take public transport to nearby Worthing Lancing (1.8 miles from Shoreham) and pick up your hire car there. Trains take less than 10min and tickets start at roughly £4, with buses taking around 15min and costing just over £2.
Brighton is quite a small and dense city, attracting many holidaymakers who tend to mill about in the streets, so keep a careful eye out for them when driving at busy times. You’ll probably need a sat nav when you’re booking car hire in Brighton, as the city uses a one-way network of streets that can be confusing. Drive carefully in the residential suburbs too, as streets are narrow, exacerbated by residents parking their cars outside.
Try to avoid the A29 during rush hours, which peak at around 08:00 and 17:00, respectively. This is the main road that runs from the Palace Pier to the Marina, and also stay away from Brighton and Stuart Roads at these times. Otherwise, you’ll find the driving experience pleasant and without too much traffic, although in the most popular areas around the Promenades it’s easier to park your car and walk around.

This depends on the kind of experience you want to have.

The speed limits in Brighton and Hove vary from 20mph in the city centre and residential suburbs to the standard 30mph in many other UK cities. These speed limits are on specific roads in identified zones. In other areas you can drive up to 40mph, so it’s best to keep a sharp eye out for speed limit signage. On motorways, you can travel at the standard 60mph on a single carriageway road and 70mph on a dual carriageway.
Because of the numerous public seaside walking areas along the promenades, your best bet to find parking for visiting these areas is to use one of the car parks in the city centre.
