KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Newbury
- Newbury is situated in the Berkshire countryside a few miles west of Reading. This south-central region of the UK is best explored with car hire in Newbury, which provides a level of convenience and flexibility unmatched by public transport. Few adventures beat the freedom of travelling along the open road, and if you’re keen then consider a drive east on the M25 about 140 miles to Margate or the 60-mile drive north-west to Gloucester along the A4.
- If you fly into Southampton Airport (SOU) it’s about 31 miles by car to your destination. When you arrive there you can choose from various providers like Thrifty, Enterprise and Budget to obtain car hire in Newbury for your travels. The airport’s car hire centre is easy to find from the Domestic Arrivals hall. Walk towards the exit marked "Car Parks and Ground Transportation" (buses and train station) and locate it just across the street.
- The A339 is the main artery for inbound and outbound traffic from Newbury. For this reason it and the secondary roads leading from it are prime targets for congestion during the morning and evening rush hour periods. You should expect moderate pedestrian and cycle traffic on interior streets daily, especially in the heart of the downtown area where the administrative and commercial pulse is located. If you’re travelling during the summer, be advised that tourist numbers will complicate overall traffic conditions between June and August.
- From 07:00 to 08:30 and from 18:00 to 20:30 the London Road and B4009 tributaries are areas for concern, especially where they connect with the A339 ring road north of Victoria Park. The Turnpike Road/Bentham Hill/Tull Hill roundabout is another problem area, as it connects the town centre with Thatcham. Expect the environs of Victoria Park to be active with pedestrian and vehicular traffic during the busy afternoon period from 13:00 to 15:00.
- Book your rental car in Newbury at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Newbury are around 57% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting a car in Newbury
What type of car is recommended for driving in Newbury?
Choosing the ideal hire car depends on the number of passengers and your budget considerations. For example, small economy cars and compacts are more affordable and maybe more fuel-efficient, but they are not recommended for parties of five or more persons. In such cases, an SUV, estate car or intermediate saloon offers a more comfortable ride and larger storage capacity than the other classes of vehicle.

The legal speed limit for operating car hire in Newbury within the town precincts is 30mph, but there are specific zones (residential districts, and around schools and hospitals) where this is reduced to 20mph. Driving through rural areas, 40mph is allowed, while along single carriageways the limit is 50mph. If you’re on dual carriageways the legal speed is 60mph, and driving on motorways carries a maximum speed of 70mph.
