Location information for Bristol

Bristol, located at 105 miles west of London, is one of the most populated cities in the southwest of England, and a main centre for employment, education and culture. The city is located in its own area that previously was part of Avon, which no longer exists. Bristol has a great historical heritage that dates to the time when it was controlled by the Bishops of Durham, known as the Prince Bishops.

This great cosmopolitan city boasts of a vast array of interesting places and activities to keep you busy for the whole period of your stay. Bristol has a great choice of accommodation including spas, five-star hotels and cheap accommodation from where you can easily tour around the city by budget car rental and enjoy what it has to offer.

The city is rich in history, culture and art, and you can enjoy its many sites around town by cheap car hire in Bristol. The city boasts of a great variety of museums, churches and cathedrals, art galleries, and theatres. If you are a lover of comedy, dance, poetry and music, then the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Theatre is a must for you to visit. The theatre has a 220-seat auditorium offering daily shows every evening.

Other places of general interest for you to consider during your stay in the city that is easily accessible with cheap car hire in Bristol are Bristol Zoo, which was inaugurated in 1836 and is located in Guthrie Road. The zoo is an award-winning landmark and the world's oldest provincial zoo. Just a stone's throw from Bristol Bridge is St Nicholas Market, a popular shopping spot divided into three zones; one covered area; one exchange hall and one glass arcade.

The best time to visit the UK is during the season of July to August (summer season) and Bristol, being the capital of hot-air ballooning, is host to the famous Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, the biggest balloon celebration in Europe, during August. You can certainly enjoy interesting hot air balloon exhibitions and even take balloon flights by making reservations through local air-balloon companies.

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).
