Peterborough Guide
Car Hire
Forming part of England's East Anglia region, Peterborough is a small but historic cathedral city found immediately west of the Fens, one of the country's most fertile areas. Peterborough is a worthwhile tourist destination, if only for its awe-inspiring cathedral in the city centre. This Gothic building, one of the most striking in England, features three huge arches on its façade. Other places worth visiting can be found in the areas surrounding Peterborough, so hiring a car is recommended.
Who to Book With
Car hire agencies, including international rental brands such as Thrifty, Europcar, Avis, Budget, Enterprise and Hertz, can be found within the town centre or nearby. Local companies are also present, and getting the best is as easy as going online and comparing prices. It is much cheaper to book prior to arrival than to hire cars on the spot.
Best Time to Go
The general region of East Anglia experiences relatively warmer summers with lots of sun, but winters that are colder and frostier than elsewhere in England. Summer is a good time to visit due to the high number of sunny days and average temperature highs of around 22°C.
Need to Know Essentials
Those who opted to hire cars must present the following when retrieving the hired vehicle:
- A driving licence (UK or International)
- ID to confirm identity
- A credit card
- Confirmation of the car hire booking

Driving
The A1(M) is the highway to take when coming to Peterborough from London. Those coming from Cambridge, located southwest of Peterborough, should take the A14 before joining the A1(M) to get to the city. The city centre is pedestrianized, so it is best to find yourself a hotel that offers parking and explore the main attractions in the city on foot. Peterborough is relatively small and has a network of ring roads, making driving to and from areas around town is fairly easy.
Our guide to UK driving contains more information on this topic.

It is serviced by East Coast trains, which connects Peterborough to London and Cambridge in the south, and York and Edinburgh in the north. East Midlands Trains also run to and from Norwich. A one-way ticket from London costs around £22.
