If you plan to drive your Chelmsford hire van in the city centre, on main roads like Springfield Road, Parkway and Broomfield Road you’ll find that it can become quite congested. Delays typically occur during commuterhours and on weekends near the Meadows Shopping Centre. Traffic lights and roundabouts do help break this up but it’s best to plan your route before you set off to avoid unnecessary delays, and to travel out of peak times if possible.
With several shopping areas around the city, there are plenty of places to park along the A1060 Parkway and in the retail parks too, ideal if you’re hiring a van for picking up furniture you’ve ordered.
If you’re using your Chelmsford hire van to move a family member into the Student Village, you’ll find Anglia Ruskin University overlooking the banks of the River Chelmer and Chelmer Valley Nature Reserve. To reach the university, head north from the city centre to join the B1008 from Victoria Road. There is plenty of parking on the university campus with various tariffs – the university parking page can help you plan.
Chelmsford is well-connected, just east of London and about 24 miles to the east coast. It’s less than an hour and a half’s drive to London using the M25 orbital from the A12 – ideal for day trips in your hire van – whether for business or pleasure.
