Crawley car hire

The best kind of Crawley car hire for negotiating the busy street downtown depends on the number of passengers, personal choice and utility. Solo drivers and duos tend to opt for smart compacts or economy cars, which are highly manoeuvrable and easier to park whereas an intermediate, full size or passenger van holds more passengers but may be less fuel efficient.

Unless otherwise indicated, if you’re driving between 20mph and 30mph you should avoid having any difficulties with authorities or traffic surveillance equipment inside the town limits. Single carriageway roads like the A2004 and the A2219 generally allow for a maximum of 50mph unless flowing through restricted or populated areas. The M23 has a cruising speed of 70mph, but you should always keep an eye out for posted signs indicating speed changes to be safe.

In Crawley, on-street parking is metered and most of them accept cash, credit/debit cards or mobile payments. Crawley Town Council operates several pay and display parking garages where you can park your vehicle and rates vary, from as low as £1 to £1.50 per hour. These garages tend to be free after normal business hours which also vary, but if you stay anywhere between 20:00 and 21:00 you’ll stay on the right side of the law.
