KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Swadlincote

  • Using car hire in Swadlincote offers the advantage of flexibility and convenience. With your vehicle, you can easily explore the surrounding attractions, such as the picturesque National Forest, Calke Abbey, and Conkers Adventure Park. Public transportation options are limited in the area, so having a hire car provides greater accessibility and allows you to make the most of your time. Car hire in Swadlincote offers the freedom to set your itinerary and discover the hidden gems of this beautiful region at your own pace.
  • Swadlincote does not have an airport. The nearest major airport is East Midlands Airport (EMA), located approximately 32 km (20 miles) away. At East Midlands Airport, you'll find a range of reputable car hire companies that offer a variety of options. The car hire offices are in the Arrivals area, and you can easily spot the counters of different providers. It's recommended to book your Swadlincote car hire in advance and check if there's an airport shuttle available from the terminal to the car hire offices.
  • When driving in Swadlincote, be mindful of pedestrian crossings and respect the right of way for pedestrians. Additionally, pay attention to the local traffic regulations and follow the signposted speed limits. Some residential areas may have narrow streets, so drive cautiously and be aware of oncoming traffic. Take note of any one-way streets and use GPS or a navigation system to navigate the city efficiently. Remember to always buckle up and refrain from using mobile devices while driving for your safety.
  • Swadlincote doesn't experience severe traffic congestion compared to larger cities. However, during peak commuting hours, particularly from 07:30 to 09:00 am and 16:30 to 18:00, there might be increased traffic on main routes such as the A511 and A514. It's advisable to plan your journeys accordingly and allow extra time for potential delays. As for seasons, while winter snow is not typically a major issue in Swadlincote, it's always wise to stay updated on weather conditions and drive cautiously during adverse weather, especially in rural areas.
