The type of car you choose depends on your needs. The roads tend to be wide enough, especially on the outskirts of the city, and traffic isn't very heavy. If you plan on driving around the centre, a smaller, compact car might be easier to navigate and find parking for. If you're in Eastbourne in the summer, spend a little extra and get yourself a convertible Eastbourne car hire to make the vacation even more memorable. Longer trips with more people are best done in an SUV.

The speed limits in Eastbourne are mostly the same as those around East Sussex, except for a few streets near the city centre where a limit of 20 mph (32 km/h) has been introduced. Typically, built-up areas and urban roads carry a speed limit of 30 mph (48 km/h), while single carriageways and rural roads are capped at 50 mph (80 km/h). Major motorways and dual carriageways carry a speed limit of 60 mph (96 km/h).

Eastbourne is quite generous with its free on-street parking, especially near the beachfront, but because the area is so popular, these places are usually snapped up quite quickly. The majority of the available parking close to the beach is charged in 15 minute increments either with parking meters or local ticket machines. If you're parking in the town centre, you'll rely on parking meters or covered parking where you'll be given tickets upon entry.
