Milton Keynes car hire

Due to the relative lack of gridlock in Milton Keynes, you’re pretty free to choose any model of hire car you prefer, although you’ll always get better fuel economy from a compact car if you’re going to be mainly driving in the city centre, simply because of the traffic lights. If you want to roam the surrounding countryside, then hire a saloon or an MPV. If you really intend to do some serious off-roading in the area, then a 4x4 would be an appropriate choice. These are all standard options with most companies offering car hire in Milton Keynes.

Because of the grid layout promoting traffic flow, the speed limits in Milton Keynes are predominantly set at the national speed limit of 30mph in the inner areas (the H roads and V roads) and 40mph to 70mph on the arterial roads and motorways. However, be aware that certain inner city areas have been changed to 20mph zones, such as New Road and School Lane.

For free parking in the centre of Milton Keynes, head for the Food Centre Multi-storey in Lower Twelfth Street, where you’ll be able to park for 2h at a time, or to The Hub, where you’ll find a large Sainsbury’s car park. Paid parking arcades cost an average of £2 per hour.
