Driving in and around Darlington
Darlington (or ‘Darlo’, if you’re a local) is a town in beautiful County Durham. It’s well-connected to the rest of the UK, thanks to its convenient location just off the A1, which runs the full length from Edinburgh to London. So, whether you’re driving north or heading down south, hiring a van in Darlington is a great place to start.
Located just 16 miles west of Middlesbrough, you can drive from Darlington to this large town on the south bank of the River Tees in less than 30 minutes – follow the A66 eastbound.
Further north, the historic city of Durham is just 21 miles and 35 minutes away, via the A1. Big, bustling cities like Sunderland and Newcastle are within an hour’s radius too - Sunderland via the A1 and A690, and Newcastle on the A1.
Speed limits are the same when you’re driving a van. In built-up areas – cities, towns and villages - the limit is 30mph, or sometimes 40mph. The national speed limit for vans on single-lane roads is 60 mph, and on dual carriageways and motorways, the limit is 70 mph.
