This is a lovely city to drive through, not least because of its setting. But before you get things rolling with a hire van in Inverness, there’s a few useful things you should know.
Despite being a relatively small city, there are plenty of paid parking spaces to be found. Rose Street Multi-Storey is a 24-hour car park conveniently located near to the train station and Eastgate Shopping Centre. Inverness Business and Retail Park meanwhile features more than 1,000 free parking spaces for customers, should this be your destination of choice.
If you’ve never driven through Scotland, you may not be accustomed to the multitude of single-track roads that are in the city centre, as well as in nearby rural areas. These tend to be narrow, but are easy to get used to if you take it slow, giving you enough time to navigate around other vehicles. Common sense, patience and judgement are all that is needed when driving on these roads.
Speed limits are usually clearly signed. While 30mph is typical, be aware that 20mph is now the limit in an increasingly large number of places around the city, especially near schools and residential areas, so be sure to check signs when driving around the local streets.
As the UK’s most northerly city, it can get cold during December, January and February, and when driving in these months there can be heavy snowfall. So go slowly and plan ahead during these times.
