KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sheffield
- Getting cheap car rentals in Sheffield is an excellent way to turn your visit to the city into a lifetime experience because you'll gain incredible flexibility in exploring the vibrant city and adventure other elegant and lively places beyond the destination. Also, you'll stay within your budget as you give yourself and your family an unbeatable experience of a lifetime. Furthermore, you want to gain the convenience of visiting historical sites, including cultural and historical places that define this city, including but not limited to Birley Spa Bath House, The Old Queen’s Head, Sheffield War Memorial, and Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet. You can conveniently access these destinations, and more hassle-free.
- When arriving at Manchester (MAN) Airport, take advantage of the many car rental agencies and book your car. In addition to gaining the privilege of choosing among many agencies, booking cheap car rentals in Sheffield at the airport enables you to compare deals and go for the most favorable one. Besides, the numerous numbers of car rental agencies make them affordable. Hertz, SIXT, Free2More, Keddy, Enterprise, and Dollar are popular car rental agencies you will likely encounter. Since they have different deals, engage the car rental agencies before settling on a particular one.
- You’ll encounter multiple intersections while driving your rental car. Usually, some of these intersections could be clearer and better; you can take the wrong lane if you are unfamiliar with the streets. Gladly, most car rentals in Sheffield have a navigation system to help you maneuver the streets hassle-free. Moreover, the agencies will illustrate how to use the navigation system. Not only that, but jaywalkers are common in the city. You need to be extra careful because most of them cross the road without showing any signals.
- Rent a car for your time in Sheffield to combine city exploring with countryside roaming for the ultimate UK experience. Sheffield features many places of interest like museums, galleries, pubs, and much more, plus it lies adjacent to the Peak District National Park, which showcases the English countryside from its best side and is only half an hour away by car.
- Another good reason to rent a car for your time in Sheffield is because Doncaster Sheffield Airport is over 24 miles from the city, and by picking up a rental car directly from one of their onsite agencies, travelers don’t have to rely on public transport to reach the city. With a car, you can be in Sheffield center in half an hour via the M18, whereas public transport will take well over an hour.
- Throughout the UK, people drive on the left side of the road and Sheffield is, of course, no exception. For people who are not used to that, a GPS system can help navigate through the city while driving on the “wrong” side of the road. When coming to roundabouts, remember to enter clockwise and pay attention at intersections, as it can be the confusing when the traffic is on the other side.
- Getting stuck in traffic in Sheffield can cost you more than half an hour, so it is recommended to refrain from hitting the road when commuters rush in and out of the city. In the morning, the city usually clogs up around 7-9 am, and from 5-7 pm in the evenings. Especially the M18 and Penistone Road face severely increased traffic during peak times and should be avoided if possible.
- Book your rental car in Sheffield at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Sheffield are around 41% cheaper than other car types, on average
