Cheap Car Hire United Kingdom

Britain a Microcosm of the World

We don’t make anything anymore, so what do we do? Tourism. Unsurprising really if you consider how much we’ve managed to cram into our shores. Americans consider Britain a microcosm of the world, and when you cast your mind from world cities such as London and Edinburgh to the lakes and peaks, to the sandy beeches and then on to the historic castles and houses you can understand why. Everything in one country, in quant miniature of course if you’re from larger shores, is exactly what we have. So go see it!

Discover the Diversity of Great Britain in your Hire Car!

While (fairly) united in a single nation state, each of the home countries has a distinct character, charm, and attraction. Take Scotland, for example, which has contributed such diverse attractions as Edinburgh, a magnificent city of such extraordinary cultural and historical significance that UNESCO has named it a World Heritage Site, and the famous lochs, to the many, many, many whisky distilleries.

Driving

Britain is surprisingly convenient to discover by car hire, and even with the current gas prices it is still the cheapest way to do so. Your AA Road Atlas continues to be the best guide while travelling with your rented car and has a lot of useful information in addition to detail road and city maps.

Planning a holiday in your home country is often more challenging than going abroad, since traveling to familiar sounding places often seems mundane, but you will be surprised how much you can learn about your country and might just end up liking it a little more for all its beauty.

One of the highlights of England is surely the Lake District, once upon a time home and inspiration to Beatrix Potter and might just be the most beautiful region to drive with your car hire through. The scenery is simply stunning.  Every corner of Cumbria is packed with historical curiosities and surprises, and set around the gorgeous deep lakes and the high craggy peaks such as Scafell Pike, the highest point in England.

Driving closer to the capital, you’ll find another highlight in the form of Blenheim Palace former residence of Winston Churchill, and a fine example of a stately home, open for viewing of course. While there make sure not to miss the gardens and maze.

The hustle and bustle of London could be a nightmare by car so heading down the country turn right, follow the A303 and head down with your car hire to the West Country. Surround yourself with Celtic ruins, beautiful deserted sandy beeches, rugged coastline, a few pints of cider, when you’re not driving obviously, and the laid back tranquility of Somerset, Devon or Cornwall.

Best of all you probably already know where you want to go, be it town or country, England, Wales or Scotland, the South or the North. Just get yourself that rental car and explore, why go anywhere else?
