When planning your trip, consider a car hire in Lille that is best suited to the distance you’ll be driving, as well as the type of driving. If you do intend to drive within the city, a small, compact car is a wise idea, as some of the older streets are narrow and parking spaces are better suited to smaller cars. If your drives will involve going further afield or up into the mountains, look out for a premium sedan or perhaps an SUV for additional comfort and more space for you and your luggage. The addition of a navigation system will take the pressure off navigating around unfamiliar roads.

The speed limit on the more built-up roads in Lille is 30 kph, with some of the main roads increasing this limit to 50 kph. As with the rest of France, on single carriageway roads outside of the city limits, the limit is 80 kph. On national departmental roads, it is 90 kph. On dual carriageways, you are able to drive at 110 kph, while motorway speed limits are 130 kph. It is important to note that these speed limits drop to 100 kph and 110 kph respectively when it is raining.
