Newport car rentals from $33/day

When you’re looking for the right car hire in Newport, and you’re staying in or intending to spend a lot of time in the city centre, then the traffic dictates that you choose the most easily manoeuvrable. A city car will be your stalwart here, particularly if you’re travelling alone or as a couple. Otherwise hire a compact style of saloon or, at most, a smaller MPV. If you'd prefer to visit the tourist attractions outside the city centre, then book a hotel further out and hire something more spacious, like a saloon or a larger SUV.

You will need to pay quite close attention to the various speed limit zones in Newport, as the maximum allowed speed is restricted to 20mph in certain areas, rather than the standard 30mph that you’ll find in the other urban and suburban areas of the city. The 20mph limit covers large areas of the city, including those that Wharf Road and Usk Road run through. Speed limit enforcement is a combination of cameras and sensors that flash your current speed as you pass them.
