Portsmouth is one of the most densely populated cities in the UK, second only to London. In 2021, 0.67 billion vehicle miles were travelled on Portsmouth's roads, and the worst rush hour happened on Fridays between 3pm and 4pm. Travelling before this time could save up to two hours a year for a 30-minute journey. Like many big cities, Portsmouth has a Class B Clean Air Zone (CAZ); most non-compliant vehicles pay a daily charge for driving through the area.

A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Portsmouth to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Portsmouth, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.

Driving in cities like Portsmouth puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Portsmouth for all these crucial components.

Since Portsmouth is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Portsmouth.
