KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Hull
- The port city of Hull is a culture and arts mecca located on the eastern coast of England. A car hire in Hull extends your reach beyond public transportation, so you can explore this coastal landscape at your leisure. A trip to Hornsea via Withernsea is about 35 miles via the A1033 and B1242 but if you prefer an inland adventure drive about 37 miles west to the grand city of York.
- Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) is the city’s closest major airport and that’s a 68-mile trip by car. Still, it’s the best place from which to get your hands on a Hull car hire outside the city itself, especially if you're arriving by plane. The Car Hire Centre at Leeds Bradford involves a short 15-minute walk from the main terminal building. You can get there by exiting the Arrivals Hall and following the directions to the Mid Stay Car Park.
- Traffic in Hull is a major problem due to the River Hull, which splits the city between east and west and the number of bridges (Scale Lane Swing Bridge) that flow traffic across it. The ring road created by the A63, A165, A1079 (Ferensway) around the city centre is prone to serious traffic congestion during the morning and evening rush, as well as mid-afternoon. Expect lots of foot, bike and motorcycle movement around key downtown areas, especially near colleges and universities.
- To stay clear of morning gridlock you should avoid major roads like the A63, A165 and A1079 between the hours of 07:00 and 09:00. The period from 13:00-15:00 should also be of concern, especially around St. Stephen’s Shopping Centre, the cultural district to the north, and Hull College to the east. Significant bridge traffic between the evening hours of 18:00 and 20:00 is likely to hamper your ride home. Due to the high incidence of traffic jams, having a sat nav to find alternate routes outbound or inbound is an excellent idea.
- Book your rental car in Hull at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Hull are around 3% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting a car in Hull
What type of car is recommended for driving in Hull?
Small economy cars and compacts are more adept at handling narrow city streets and easier to park than their larger relatives. They are also less expensive and perhaps more fuel efficient. For parties of five persons or more, an intermediate saloon or SUV is a more suitable option especially if you intend to spend long hours on the road.
What’s the speed limit in Hull?

Pay attention to posted limits near junctions, bridges and roundabouts, where CCTV and traffic cams are common, to avoid being fined and reduce the likelihood of accidents.
