Economy and compact cars are recommended getting around the tightly packed streets in the town centre and it’s always easier to find parking for them. When travelling with family or a few friends, an intermediate vehicle or passenger van is a more appropriate mode of transport in terms of overall comfort.
The speed limit for travel around the town centre and other heavily populated areas and school zones is 20mph, with limits increasing to 30mph on roads outside restricted areas. You are allowed to drive your Bolton car hire at 50mph on single carriageways such as the B6206, and at 60mph on dual carriageways such as the A579 or A666. The main arteries around Bolton are filled with junctions where speed cameras and CCTV are in effect, so keep an occasional eye on your speedometer while you’re cruising.
In Bolton, you are allowed to park on roads with single yellow lines between the hours of 18:00-20:30 from Monday to Saturday unless otherwise prohibited by street signs and on-street parking is free all day on Sundays.

There are plans to introduce a Clean Air Zone to the Greater Manchester Area. This would include Bolton and it would mean that certain vehicles may be charged an extra fee. While plans are on hold as of April 2023, if you plan on driving your car to cities like Bath, Birmingham or Bradford, you will need to comply with their clean air zones. Each zone is slightly different, so ask your Bolton car hire company which vehicle is best for your plans.
In 2022, laws regarding mobile phone use in cars were made stricter. Now, you are not allowed to use a hand-held device for any reason while driving, even while stopped at red lights etc. The only times you can touch your phone are to make an emergency call or to make a payment with your phone. (Your car must be completely stationary during this time.)

Some Bolton car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Bolton.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Bolton car hire.
