Location information for United Kingdom

United Kingdom is best explored by rental car. HireCars.co.uk has over 209 pick-up locations in United Kingdom. This means there is always a pick-up location close to your destination.

The UK is one of the most exciting tourism destinations in the world. Its abundant attractions include historic castles, the ancient Stonehenge and splendid natural landscapes. Car hire in the UK is the easiest means of travelling between London, the Peak District and the Scottish Highlands, among other areas.

UK attractions

The ancient cathedral cities of York, Salisbury, Winchester, Gloucester and Ely are all close to major motorways with direct access to London. Blackpool, Rhyl, Torquay, Penzance and Brighton are a few of the popular seaside resorts which are best accessed using car rental in the UK. Travelling around the coast of north Cornwall offers amazing coastal vistas and a stop at Tintagel Castle.

UK excursions

Bath is a great day out and home to Thermae Bath Spa, Bath Abbey and other historic gems. Northern Scotland, Inverness, Loch Ness and Fort William are most easily explored with the freedom of car hire in the UK. Those with youngsters in tow might prefer a day out at a theme park such as Alton Towers, in the West Midlands.

Best time to visit

The summer months between mid-June and early September are usually the best times to enjoy the UK's draws although even at this time of year, good weather is not always guaranteed. From October through early May, the weather is cold with occasional snowfall, especially in northern England and Scotland.

Car rental in the UK

The UK's road infrastructure is good, with motorways linking all major towns and ‘A' class roads connecting tourism sites and seaside resorts. In all cities and towns, there is usually a great choice of reputable car rental in the UK. Compare car hire for the top deals from both local and national suppliers.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is HireCars.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

 What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

 How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

 When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
