Compare Great Yarmouth car hire

Think Great Yarmouth, think arcades, fairground rides, a big wheel, candy floss, chippies and a sandy beach – all essential ingredients for a quintessential British seaside getaway. It’s also a fantastic starting point for a road trip along the Norfolk coast.

After you’ve had your fun in and around Pleasure Beach – and got up close with the weird and wonderful at the SEA LIFE aquarium – hop into your hire car to visit Cromer, Sheringham or Holkham. And if you’re after a great deal on a hire car, simply type in your details above and we’ll help you find just that.

With several pick-up points throughout Great Yarmouth, collecting your hire car in the town is easy. One of the local providers, Norfolk Hire, is a short walk from the train station, while another, Gapton Car Hire, is further in (you can even rent out a campervan with these guys, perfect if you fancy an entirely mobile holiday). Enterprise also operates in the area.

Once you have your keys, you're ready for a memorable trip around Great Yarmouth. The A47 is the main road into town, travelling through the Broads from Norwich and heading down to Lowestoft. Alternatively, the A143 takes you south and away from the coast into Suffolk. Elsewhere, you’re looking at smaller roads for exploring the Norfolk coastline – and you’re in for some gorgeous sea views.

Thanks to the unearthing of some historic gems – including some of the oldest human footprints in the world – the 22 miles between Weybourne and Cart Gap has been dubbed the “Deep History Coast”.

It’s a fantastic stretch of coastline to travel along from Great Yarmouth. Download the app for guided walks, giant mammoths and to help identify any fossils you find on West Runton Beach (search for DHC Explorer AR on Google Play or on the Apple Store).

Beyond the beaches – Gorleston or Winterton-on-Sea are also well worth checking out if you want to enjoy quieter stretches of sand – there is plenty to see and do by car. You can, for instance, nip up to Norwich for shopping, theatre and dinner, or visit BeWILDerwood for a day of outdoor adventure.

Parking during your trip is generally well catered for, with car parks close to the beaches and attractions. Great Yarmouth has several long-stay or short-stay options near the seafront or in the town centre, too.

Do note that in summer, Norfolk’s beaches can get very busy – so plan ahead to secure a convenient spot for your hire car.
