Car Class Recommendations

The spacious streets of Reading make it comfortable for vans and SUVs, while the compact downtown streets will be better navigated with a smaller sedan or compact car. If you're planning a road trip out to the countryside, an SUV might be the ideal pick to handle the rural lanes.

Driving in Reading

Driving in Reading can be slightly different from other parts of England. While the driving side is still the left, Reading has adopted a “Park and Ride” system, friendly to both drivers and the environment.

Parking in Reading

There are many car parks in the town centre. However, Reading operates a Park and Ride system on three main routes into the town to help reduce congestion. You'll find this system a very effective and stress-free way of moving around.

Speed Limits & Traffic Rules

Apart from residential areas, where the speed limit is 20mph, the town adopts a typical UK speed limit structure: 30 mph in built-up areas, 60 mph on single-carriageway roads and 70 mph on dual carriageways and motorways.

Iconic Routes around Reading

The location of Reading provides a great base for exploring other parts of South East England. With easy access to major motorways, you'll have the whole region at your fingertips.

The Thames Valley Drive

Jump in your rental car and explore the famous Thames Valley. This route offers scenic views along the River Thames, charming villages, and historic sites such as Windsor Castle.

Reading to Oxford

An easy day trip from Reading, drive west along the A4074 towards the renowned university city of Oxford. Its beautiful architecture & gardens will leave you awe-struck.

Reading's Seasons & Events

Reading offers a mild climate throughout the year. But, the city truly comes alive in the summer with the Reading Festival, one of the UK's most popular music events. The winter months introduce festive charm, with Reading's Christmas markets being a top attraction.
