Fareham is a small town on the south coast of England, so you would be forgiven for thinking its roads are always quiet. However, with busy urban areas either side of it, in the forms of Southampton and Portsmouth, the roads are often busy with commuters leaving the city for work. Fareham, being a popular market town, also attracts many visitors throughout the week, so be careful when driving your Fareham car hire. This applies especially if you’re driving near to where the market starts, as that area is likely to be busy with shoppers.
When making use of your car hire in Fareham, be prepared for roads to be busier during rush hour (between 08:00 and 09:00, and from 17:00 to 18:00), when commuters will be driving to work in neighbouring towns and cities. It is recommended to avoid these peak travel times so that you don’t get caught up in traffic. Fareham is also likely to be busier during the summer months, due to its access to Portsmouth Harbour and the English Channel. Gosport Road is one road in particular which gets a lot of traffic during busy periods. If possible, try to arrange your journey to avoid this road.
