Preston car hire

Tight lanes and tram tracks make compact cars ideal for Preston. The small models navigate traffic swiftly with tight turning circles, while also squeezing into on-street parking spaces. Intermediate cars also have no issue driving on Preston roads, offering greater cabin space and storage in the boot.

Unless signposts indicate otherwise, the default speed limit is 50 km/h. Bell St and Plenty Rd are set at 60 km/h, while high pedestrian sections of High St are reduced to 40 km/h. School zones are enforced between 08:00–09:30 and 14:30–16:00 at 40 km/h.

Free parking is available at Preston and Bell train stations; however, spaces fill up quickly on weekday mornings. Preston Market, on Cramer St, offers 4h of parking for approximately A$ 5.
