Driving in Bristol: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need

You’ll need your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Bristol.

Navigating city driving

Traffic slows near Cabot Circus and the Harbourside. Navigation apps can help you avoid bus lanes and guide you across the city’s bridges. Routes to the airport and motorways are well marked.

Tolls, emissions zones and charges

Some vehicles must pay to enter, though most rental cars meet the standards. There are no local toll roads, but nearby bridges may charge depending on your route.

Parking your car in Bristol
