Location information for Birmingham

The city of Birmingham is located in central England. As such, it is a great holiday destination as much as a suitable starting point for travels all over the country. Arranging for cheap car hire in Birmingham allows you to access various travel attractions not only in this city but in nearby villages and cities as well.

Birmingham is accessible via various types of transport: air, road and rail. The city is known for being one of the most popular shopping destinations in England but it also features a variety of attractions that are mostly suited for young tourists. Cadbury's World, for instance, is always on top of every family's travel itinerary when visiting Birmingham which is why it's advisable that you booked in advance particularly if you're going to visit during the holidays when guided tours are already overbooked.

After experiencing the history and actual production of chocolate, get your budget car rental and drive to other popular destinations such as the Jacobean Aston Hall and National Sea Life Centre. You may also want to visit the Museum of Transport and the Black Country Living Museum while you're in the city.

But one of the best things about Birmingham is a holiday spent in the city is mostly a gastronomic treat. The city features a variety of international cuisine restaurants including West Indian and South East Asian. Dining options in the city are so culturally diverse that it bagged the Ethnicity Culinary Award in 2004 because of this.

After having your fill of the city, take your cheap car hire in Birmingham and go for a drive to other travel destinations nearby. You can drive up to London where you'll find an array of tourist attractions to complete your holiday.

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?
