Just a 15-minute drive from Sheffield, the Peak District National Park is an outdoor adventurer's dream. Stunning moors, limestone valleys, and charming stone villages make it a playground for hikers and climbers. Tackle the trails around Mam Tor if you're feeling energetic, or enjoy a relaxed picnic by Ladybower Reservoir.
Millennium Gallery
The Millennium Gallery in the Sheffield city centre blends art, craft, and design under one roof. Here, you’ll find everything from metalwork celebrating Sheffield’s industrial roots to exhibitions from world-renowned artists. It’s worth the visit if you’re spending the day downtown — and the best part is, entry is totally free!
Sheffield Botanical Gardens
For a peaceful city retreat, be sure to visit the Sheffield Botanical Gardens, which features 19 acres of beautifully landscaped greenery.

A hot tip — consider leaving your car rental from Turo a little further afield and walking to the Gardens, as parking here is limited.

Top tips for renting a car in Sheffield
Sheffield is a busy city with more than half a million residents, and the roads here can reflect that. Browse our handy Sheffield driving guide to ensure your time behind the wheel is stress-free.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Sheffield?
Sheffield's road rules are the same as the rest of the UK, as governed by the country's Highway Code. Important things to note for new drivers to the area include keeping left, obeying road signage, avoiding any mobile phone use behind the wheel, and adhering to speed limits. Another lesser-known road rule to consider is the UK's ‘no middle lane hogging’ law, which prohibits drivers from staying in the middle lane on a motorway unless overtaking another vehicle.
Speed limits in Sheffield start at 30 miles per hour (mph) in built-up areas, followed by 60 mph on single carriageways (single-lane roads) and 70 mph on dual carriageways (double-lane roads) and motorways.
Traffic in Sheffield tends to build up around key thoroughfares like the A61 and the city's main ring road, particularly during rush hour. The city's hilly terrain and winding streets can make for scenic drives, but it's also critical to keep alert on these roads to avoid accidents.
The weather here can be unpredictable — snow and ice are common in winter, and rain is prominent year-round, so always take precautions like using your windscreen wipers and headlights and observing a safe stopping distance.
What is parking like in Sheffield?
If you’re searching for parking in Sheffield, you won’t have to look too far — there are many options spread throughout the city centre and its surrounding suburbs. With a mix of street spots and secure parking garages and lots, the choice is yours. Popular options include the Q-Park at Sheffield Station and the Campo Lane car park for handy access to downtown Sheffield.
Are there toll roads in Sheffield?
Good news — Sheffield and its surroundings are totally toll-free. The only major toll you might encounter on a longer journey is the M6 Toll in the south of Birmingham. Otherwise, driving through South Yorkshire won't cost you any extra beyond fuel and parking.
Are there petrol stations and EV chargers in Sheffield?
Yes, there are both petrol stations and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations within easy reach in Sheffield. You'll find no shortage of petrol stations, with easy options just outside the city centre, including the Shell on Boston Street, the bp at 105 Bramall Lane, and the Tesco Petrol Station at 1 Savile Street.
The city also offers plenty of EV charging points, with fast chargers at convenient locations like The Moor, Meadowhall, and Sheffield Hallam University car parks. There’s also a strong network of chargers in the city centre, predominantly from Blink — try the outlets at 72 Charles Street or 2 Holland Street for a quick juice-up.
Do I need to rent a car in Sheffield?
Public transport covers most of the city centre, but a Sheffield car hire will open the door to incredible day trips and exploring at your own pace. Peak District National Park, York, Liverpool, and even Manchester are all within easy driving distance of Sheffield. If you're relocating to the area, it's also handy to have your own car, especially if you're commuting to work or dropping kids off at school.
