Driving in and around Swindon
Swindon is in a great location, whether visiting for pleasure or conducting business. It’s in the west of England, and close to numerous places you may want to visit on business in your hire van.
In the centre of Swindon, you’ll find easily negotiable grid-like areas, especially west of Regent Circus and south of the town’s two main shopping centres. The Parade Shopping Centre has a Wilko, while the Brunel Shopping Centre has an Argos and numerous furniture and department stores. They sit next to each other, bounded by Commercial Road to the south and Fleming Way to the north. There is plentiful parking around here, with multi-storey car parks and also a short stay car park on Granville Street just off Commercial Rod.
If you’re shopping for DIY, the town’s B&Q is on Great Western Way in the north-west of Swindon, with a Screwfix just across the way. One of the most challenging and unique traffic features in the country is further east along Fleming Way. Here you’ll find the famous ‘Magic Roundabout’, which consists of six concentric circles, found running clockwise, but with the innermost circle running counter-clockwise.
Just south of the centre, the M4 runs from east to west - which leads through the southern end of the Cotswolds to Bristol and the West Country. You can cross the River Severn for Wales, with Newport and Cardiff nearby. Go east and you’ll pass through the North Wessex Downs for Reading. It then continues on for Slough and, eventually, London.
For the heart of the Cotswolds, head out of the city on the A419 and join the A417 near Cirencester and Gloucester. The university town of Oxford is just to the north-east along the A420, handy if you’re helping a student in the family to move in to their halls or accommodation. Whatever brings you here, car rental in Swindon is easy to organise and hugely convenient.
