Best places to visit in the UK

Enjoy world-class exhibitions at the V&A museum, get a history lesson at the Tower of London and ride the London Eye for a bird’s-eye view of the city. Visitors can also stroll around the verdant gardens, visit bustling markets and treat yourself to quintessential afternoon tea.
- Edinburgh: Built on rocky hills overlooking the sea, dynamic Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital. Stroll through the cobbled streets of the Old Town, hike up to Arthur’s Seat for the best views over the city and explore impressive Edinburgh Castle. Hire a car in the UK to see more of Scotland attractions, including historic St. Andrews, Hadrian’s Wall, Loch Ness and the Scottish Highlands.
- Northern Ireland: The natural beauty of Northern Ireland is truly breathtaking. Experience it for yourself on a trip along the exhilarating Causeway Coastal Route or driving through the landscape of glens, mountains and forests. See historic castles and the magnificent Giant’s Causeway, visit the cities of Belfast and Londonderry, and take a tour of the oldest distillery in the world.

In the UK the minimum age is 21 years old for standard, smaller vehicles, though be aware you must hold a valid licence for at least a year and charges apply.
If you are ending the journey at a different drop-off point please select the location during the booking to check if this is an available option. Charges can apply otherwise.
Although we can offer one-way car hire domestically it is not possible to cross any international borders, even if you are bringing the vehicle back to its original location.
In the UK you must always drive on the left-hand side of the road. Please pay attention to all speed signs and you stop at every stop sign and red/orange traffic light.
