Important information about Sheffield car hire

How do I get from Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA) to the car hire centre?

The nearest car hire centre to Doncaster Sheffield Airport is just outside the airport terminal. It can be easily reached on foot, as it's within short walking distance. If you have heavy luggage or prefer not to walk, you can take a shuttle bus provided by your Sheffield car hire company. The shuttle bus runs between the car hire centre and the airport terminal, and it is free of charge for customers who have made a reservation. To find the hire car centre, simply follow the signs for car hire as you exit the airport terminal. The centre is in a designated area in the car park just outside the terminal building.

What documentation do I need to hire a car in Sheffield?

To hire a car in Sheffield, you'll need to bring several documents. Firstly, you'll need a valid driver's licence. If your licence isn't in English, you may also need an international driving permit (IDP). If your licence is less than a year old, you won't be able to hire a vehicle in Sheffield. In addition to your driver's licence, you'll need a valid credit card in the main driver's name. The credit card will be used to secure the hired car and cover additional charges, such as insurance, fuel or damages. You may also need to provide proof of your identity and address, such as a passport or utility bill, to comply with the UK's regulations on identity verification.

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

When driving in Sheffield, there are a few important driving laws to keep in mind. Firstly, like in the rest of the UK, you drive on the left-hand side of the road. This may take some getting used to if you are not accustomed to it, so it's important to be extra vigilant and pay attention to road signs. It's also important to note that many areas in Sheffield have restricted or controlled parking zones, which require a permit or payment to park. Be sure to check for signs and restrictions before parking your hired car, to avoid any fines or penalties. Additionally, the use of mobile phones while driving is strictly prohibited, unless you are using a hands-free device. Failure to comply with this law can result in heavy fines and penalty points on your licence. Finally, always wear your seatbelt and ensure your hired car has a valid MOT certificate, which certifies that it has passed the UK's roadworthiness test. By following these laws and guidelines, you can have a safe and enjoyable driving experience in Sheffield.

Can I drive to other states, regions or countries with a hire car from Sheffield?

Taking a hired car from Sheffield to nearby regions or countries is typically hassle free, but you should ensure the car hire company allows it. There are also a few things to keep in mind. First, be aware of the specific rules and regulations that apply to the places you plan to visit. For example, if you drive to London, there is a congestion charge for driving in certain areas. In Edinburgh, there are restrictions on driving on certain streets during certain times of the day. Additionally, there may be specific restrictions for driving across borders. For example, if you plan to drive from Sheffield to Ireland, you'll need to let the car hire company know in advance and obtain the necessary documentation. If you plan to drive to continental Europe (if it is allowed), you'll need a green card from your car hire company to prove that the car is insured.
