Leeds car rentals

Like many cities in Europe, Leeds long predates the automobile era. As a result, many of its streets were not designed with motor vehicles in mind. It is recommended that visitors rent smaller vehicles such as sedans, coupes, or compacts, as they will have a much easier time driving on the streets of Leeds with them. This is especially the case when parking, as smaller cars will have a much easier time fitting into streetside parking spaces.

Local speed limits in Leeds start out at 20 mph in residential areas, while on urban roads the speed limit is 30 mph. On undivided highways the speed limit is 60 mph and on motorways and on divided highways the speed limit is 70 mph.
