KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Wolverhampton
- Wolverhampton is served by major road arteries travelling north, south east and west, all of which connect to the inner ring road of the A4150 at the city centre. If you relish driving, then a car hire in Wolverhampton offers dynamic flexibility to go wherever the road takes you, near or far. If you’re thinking about a couple of short hops before lunch, visit Himley Hall and Park about 7 miles to the south via the A449, or the RAF Museum Cosford, which is about 10 miles west along the A41.
- Many of the major international hired car agencies have offices at Birmingham Airport (BHX) which is about 25 miles to the southeast and is the closest major airport to Wolverhampton. On the Ground Floor of the airport’s Arrivals Hall near Costa is where you’ll find the Car Hire Centre. From there, it’s a 5-minute walk to the parking garage, where you can pick up your car hire in Wolverhampton.
- The service sector and aerospace industry employ a large number of people in Wolverhampton. Coupled with university students and tourists, you should expect heavy pedestrian and bike traffic not to mention lots of vehicles, which can clog the junction points along the A4150 during the morning and evening rush hours. There are three roundabouts east, west and south along this critical roadway, which could create bottlenecks for vehicles, but inside the ring traffic should flow more freely.
- If you hate traffic queues, then be sure to avoid the A4150 during the early morning (07:00-09:00) and early evening (08:00-20:00) when gridlock is heaviest. You may also experience backups along the M6 to and from Birmingham Airport, so be sure to allow for plenty of travel time just in case. During football season Molineux Stadium, home of the Wanderers Premiership team, becomes a magnate for travelling fans, so make sure you’re well on your way come Sunday afternoon to bypass the game time crush and plan ahead to avoid the exodus returning back.
- Book your rental car in Wolverhampton at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Wolverhampton are around 76% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting a car in Wolverhampton
What type of car is recommended for driving in Wolverhampton?
Economy cars like the Mini and other compacts offer distinct advantages over larger vehicles for fuel management and parking, making them ideal for managing the city’s streets. If you’re visiting with the family, however, an intermediate SUV or people carrier is more sensible depending on the size of your entourage.
What’s the speed limit in Wolverhampton?
40mph is the legal speed limit within the environs of the city and on the A4150 ring road, but this may be reduced for roadwork or construction, so pay attention to speed signs when driving your Wolverhampton car hire as you explore. Remember that roundabouts and junction points are key areas where traffic cams and CCTV are stationed so drive with caution as you encounter them. Accelerate to 70mph on the M6 leading to/from Birmingham, but keep the dial below 50mph on the A460 and the A41 carriageways.
