Driving in Charleston is a pleasure with its beautiful coastal and countryside views, well-maintained roads, and orderly traffic. Here's some important information to bear in mind:

Car Class Recommendations

Choose compact or mid-sized cars for easy navigation in the city. For family holidays or group travel, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) or minivans are ideal for comfort and space.

Speed Limits

Speed limits vary from 25-70 mph (40-112 km/h), with residential areas typically having a 30 mph (48 km/h) limit, and interstates allowing up to 70 mph (112 km/h).

Parking

Parking garages and street parking are available in downtown Charleston. Rates vary, and it's worth checking your hotel for free or discounted parking options.

Traffic Rules

Unlike in the UK, cars drive on the right side of the road. Seat belts are mandatory, and mobile phone usage while driving is restricted. Do not drink and drive.

Sights and Attractions

From historic homes to gorgeous gardens and beaches, Charleston is filled with sights worth exploring.

Historic Charleston

Visit the Charleston Historic District, tour a 19th-century mansion, and stroll past the colourful homes of Rainbow Row. A guided tour of the historic district is highly recommended.

Beaches and Nature

Make sure to visit the beautiful beaches of Sullivan's Island, Folly Beach, and Kiawah Island. Don't forget to take the stunning drive through the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and visit Magnolia Plantation and Gardens.

Climate and Best Time to Visit

Charleston enjoys a mild climate. The best time to visit is spring (March to May) when the temperatures are pleasant and the city's gardens are in full bloom.

Currency

The official currency is the US Dollar. Credit cards are widely accepted but it's handy to have some cash for small vendors or tips.

Airport and Connectivity

The nearest airport is Charleston International Airport which offers car rentals. The city is also well-connected by train and bus services if you're planning to travel to nearby cities.

Enjoy your trip to Charleston, filled with southern charm, history and sunshine!
