Driving Tips for Inverness
To ensure everything goes smoothly with your hire car, you should stick to the following tips:
- Weather: During the winter months, Inverness can become very snowy, making driving conditions dangerous. Make sure you drive carefully during adverse weather, check local weather warnings, and travel with an emergency kit, such as jump start cables and a reflective jacket.
- Speed limits: Avoid penalties when driving in Inverness by sticking to the speed limits. These are 30 mph in Inverness, 20 mph near schools and hospitals, 60 mph on rural roads and 70 mph on motorways.
- Crossing borders: SIXT permits travel to other countries in the UK – including Ireland! With the UK Island Hopper add-on, you can leave Inverness and visit the rest of the British Isles and Ireland with around-the-clock breakdown cover.
- Rural roads: If you rent a car in Inverness to explore the countryside and the Scottish Highlands, be aware that it can be very isolated. You must ensure you have adequate fuel for your journey, as petrol stations become less frequent the more rural you go.
