Important information about Nottingham car hire

How to get from Nottingham East Midlands Airport (EMA) to the rental car centre

Nottingham City Airport is a private airport, so if you're flying to the city you'll land at the nearest commercial airport, East Midlands Airport (EMA). It's sometimes referred to as Nottingham East Midlands Airport, but it's actually in Leicester. For car hire at the airport itself, you'll find all the hire car company kiosks inside the Arrivals area. To collect your car, walk through Arrivals, around the Departures area, and you'll see arrows directing you to the airport's Car Rental Village. If you'd prefer to first travel to Nottingham on public transport and hire a car in the city, you can catch a taxi to East Midlands Parkway in Long Eaton (roughly an 8-minute trip), and then take an East Midlands Railways train to Nottingham. Your total travel time will be just under 30 minutes. You can also take a taxi all the way, which will take about 20 minutes.

What documentation do I need to rent a car at Nottingham?

As a Brit you won't need a lot of documentation to hire a car in Nottingham. The requirements can differ slightly from hire car company to company, but these are the upper limits of the regulations. You'll first and foremost need to produce your current, valid driving licence. You must have held your licence for at least two years; if you have more than two sets of 3-point fixed penalties on it, you may be refused. To save time and rest assured that this won't happen, you can check your driving history on the UK government website using your DVLA code. Then just give the car hire company the code. You'll also need to show your valid ID document, and sometimes proof of your UK address. The last thing you'll need is a credit or debit card in the name of the person hiring the vehicle. If you've already booked online, you'll need to show the same card you used for that.

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Nottingham?

The driving laws in Nottingham will be very familiar to you if you're coming from England, but may differ if you're travelling from other UK countries. You may also not have driven in Nottingham before, and may not be aware of rule changes. For example, the pavement parking ban in London was extended country-wide in 2023, so don't park there when you're in Nottingham. The city also has quite a complex set of road markings governing where you can stop, park or load, and for how long. Thankfully these are accompanied by signs explaining what they mean, so keep a sharp eye out for those. As with many other cities in Britain, travelling in bus lanes is strictly forbidden, and there is a 20 mph speed restriction in school zones. Lastly, children shorter than 135 cm must travel in an appropriate car seat, even up to the age of 14. You'll face a very hefty fine otherwise.

Can I drive to other states, regions or countries with a rental car from Nottingham?

Most car hire companies in Nottingham will have no problem if you want to go road tripping and drive to neighbouring English counties. They'll also allow you to collect your car in Nottingham and drop it off in another English city, which is known as one-way car hire. The same applies if you want to drive from Nottingham to other UK countries, like Scotland. Certain hire car companies will also allow you to hire a car in Nottingham and drive to other European countries, via ferry or the Channel Tunnel. These companies use zones rather than countries, and some limit you to only two border crossings in these zones. For example, after arriving in France or the Netherlands, you can visit neighbouring countries like Germany or Spain, respectively. Also note that most companies require you to take out extra insurance in the form of cross-border cover, so factor this into your budget.
