KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Derby

  • Car hire in Derby will allow you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the city and surrounding Derbyshire without having to rely on third-party operators like taxis and the local public transport system. You can plan each day’s itinerary at your own pace and simply drive everywhere whenever you want. Given that freedom, places that deserve a visit include Derby Cathedral, Pickford’s House Museum and the Derby Museum and Art Gallery. If you take about a 2.5-mile drive out of town, you’ll find Markeaton Park, known for the many activities that happen in its formal gardens and orangery, especially for children.
  • If you’re flying to Derby, you’ll land at East Midlands Airport. Here you can pick up your Derby car hire very conveniently, whether your booking through KAYAK is for Avis, Hertz, Sixt, Europcar or another company. Their kiosks are all located inside the terminal building, on the western side. You’ll then be shown to the short-stay parking area just outside the terminal, where you’ll be able to get into your hire car and drive the roughly 15-mile route to Derby itself.
  • One of the biggest things to be aware of when driving in and around Derby is that it can snow quite a bit in winter. The local council issues snow warnings when the roads are likely to be affected, so keep an ear or eye out for those. You can also use Derbyshire county’s live road condition cameras, which you’ll find on the county’s official website. Most of the roads are gritted once the conditions warrant it, so this will help you if you’re not used to driving in snowy conditions. Make sure that you watch out for other cars in this kind of weather as well.
  • Rush hour in Derby is limited to the city centre and the various motorways that feed the city. In the latter case, stay clear of the M1 Southbound at the J23 intersection. Another particularly congested road is the A52 Westbound, where it meets the A6514. Lastly, during rush hours, which are between 08:00 and 09:00 in the morning and from around 16:00 till 17:30, try to avoid the A50. The traffic ebbs and flows, but the road can be challenging to cross or turn on to during busy times.
  • Small rental cars in Derby are around 33% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Derby

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Derby?

    Once again, it’s the snow that you’ll have to bear in mind most when booking car hire in Derby. Make sure you hire a vehicle with high-traction tyres if you’re visiting in winter. An MPV or SUV will do you nicely, and a 4x4 will be even better. However, if you stick to the many gritted roads throughout the city, you’ll have no problem in a decent sedan, or even one of the smaller ones. Outside those times of the year you can expand your choice, but just be aware that you may have to deal with potholes caused by the snowy winter conditions.

  • What’s the speed limit in Derby?

    Speed limits are pretty strictly enforced in Derby, and they’re well signposted so you won’t be able to claim that you weren’t aware of them. In the centre of town and residential areas, don’t go faster than 30mph. On the single-carriageway arterials like the A50, you can travel up to 60mph.

  • Where are the best places to park in Derby?

    The centre of Derby operates on a pay-and-display basis. These restrictions are in place between 08:00 and 18:00, which means that you can park for free on any of the streets at night. You will also only be able to park for 2h at a time in the town centre. Recommended parking areas include Willow Row, Stuart Street and Wardwick.

  • Which car rental companies are at Manchester airport (MAN)?

    Car rental companies onsite at Manchester airport include GREEN MOTION, Budget, Ace, Sixt, Wheego, Hertz and keddy by Europcar.

Arrived at the airport and the office was locked and empty even though it was within office hours. Tried to ring the help line but, as it was a Saturday, the lines were closed. Turned out that both of the guys in the office had gone to retrieve more vehicles but even a sign on the door to say ‘back in nn minutes’ would have been helpful as it delayed me by at least 30 minutes.
