Jokingly referred to as ‘London-on-Sea’, it’s not hard to see why this nickname came about. Brighton might not be as hectic as the capital, but it definitely lives up to the name thanks to its unique atmosphere and beautiful seafront. From the picturesque Brighton Pavilion, to antique shopping in North Laine and arcade fun on Brighton Pier, the coastal gem is an ideal place to visit. You can only make your trip to Brighton better by renting a car to tackle the beautiful cliff-side roads and explore the surrounding region. You can find our Brighton branch behind Brighton train station on New England Street. You can also get a rental car from our Hove branch on Kingsway, close to the beach and opposite the King Alfred Leisure Centre car park.

Things to do in Brighton and Hove

Relax on the shingle beaches

Brighton and Hove is a great place for a beach escape, but it also has a great selection of tourist attractions and plenty of fantastic places you can drive to or through. Many people wonder why the Brighton seafront has a beach made up of pebbles and the answer is quite surprising. It’s because the shingle was embedded into the chalk cliffs that have been weathered over the years – causing this 200 mile strip of pebble beached coast, instead of sand that forms when harder rocks grind down. After witnessing this quirk for yourself, walk down the Brighton Pier and have a go on one of the arcade machines or grab a classic meal of fish and chips with vinegar from one of the seafront’s eateries. You can see the city from a bird’s eye perspective if you get on the British Airways i360 – a glass-enclosed viewing platform that lifts you 162 metres in the air. If you want to sight-see one of the most unique historical buildings in England, the Brighton Pavilion is simply a beautiful but mindboggling palace. It’s a former royal residence built in 1787 and it’s heavily inspired by Indo-Saracenic architecture, making it look otherworldly when compared to the surrounding buildings.

Drive the length of the famous chalk cliffs

Brighton and Hove is also an ideal place to start a coastal road trip, because the views from cliff-side roads and seeing the blue sea from rolling hills of the South Downs is simply unforgettable. The national park is great for hiking and cycling, but it’s also full of quaint historical villages like Alfriston. Take the A259 towards the east and you will be met with a beautiful view of cliffs and the sea for hours. You can take a detour through Beachy Head and visit the Beachy Head Lighthouse and marvel at the size of the chalk cliffs. The road takes you further through Hastings, the location of the famous medieval battle, all the way to the village of Rye where you can stop off and make your way down to Camber Sands beach. It’s the widest and longest stretch of sandy beach in the region, with beautiful dunes and a kite surfing center. No matter what you need during your trip or what kind of car you prefer, an Enterprise rental will take you around Brighton and out of the city to make memories to last a lifetime.

Tips for Driving in Brighton and Hove

When driving around Brighton and Hove, there a few key things to remember:

  • Brighton and Hove has a 20mph limit on most of its streets, with a few roads retaining the standard national 30mph limit in built-up areas outside the 20 zones. The rest of single and dual carriageways are aligned with standard national speed limits, unless specified otherwise on road signs.
  • The city center is filled with surprising gradients on hilly roads and they can be quite tight, so make sure you are confident driving a manual car with a clutch in such conditions.
  • The A259 is an unforgettable cliff-side driving experience, but within Brighton’s boundaries, the road is heavily congested at peak times. If you need to drive out or into Brighton and Hove during those times, use the A27 road instead when possible.
  • When you drive into the South Downs National Park, be wary of animal warning signs. Reduce your speed when safe to do so and use full-beam headlights to see crossing animals like deer, but make sure to switch them off to prevent dazzling animals on the road.
  • Some country roads in East Sussex can get very tight, especially in historical villages. Make sure you know the size of your rental car and reduce speed when coming up to other vehicles.
  • In an emergency, dial 999 or 112 on mobiles.
