Car hire and road travel from Swansea

Swansea is well-connected by several principal motorways. The centre of the city lies just three miles (five kilometres) from Junction 42 of the M4 motorway. The city of Swansea can easily be accessed from Cardiff, which is only 38 miles (61kms) west of Swansea. The M4 motorway provides links to the M5, M32, M48, M49, and the M50 motorways.

For a break from the city, renting a private car and exploring the Gower Peninsula is a very rewarding option. As well as enjoying the coves, gorgeous beaches and coastal walks of the peninsular, there are plenty of buildings of historical interest to visit including several impressive medieval churches.
