Car Rental Bristol

Bristol is the west of England’s biggest city and has a proud industrial and maritime heritage. It’s also a great base for exploring the Cotswolds and South Wales. None of this will be easy unless you consider pre-booking a hire car in Bristol for although public transport is good, it’s time consuming and with limited coverage. By using our booking engine you’ll get access to a wide range of top quality Bristol hire cars as well as our promise to find you the best deals.

Bristol Mini Guide

Getting to Bristol
Getting to Bristol will require a connecting flight but these can be arranged at Amsterdam or Paris Airports meaning it’s quick and convenient to get there from Johannesburg.

Travelling Outside the City
The M5 and M4 intersect near Bristol meaning that fast access into and out of the city is easy. Take the M4 west to see South Wales or the M5 south to reach Exeter, the English Riviera or Cornwall.

Places to Stay
We like the aptly named Future Inn for the ultimate in contemporary at only £90 a night. For around the same price you can enjoy the luxury at the Double Tree Hilton in the city centre – great for shopping at the Cabot Centre.

Must See Things in Bristol

• The SS Great Britain. Winner of several tourism awards, this huge ship, built by Brunel, was the first iron-hulled steam powered ship and it’s now preserved in dry dock for all to enjoy.
• The Science Museum Complex. Including  ‘Explore’ and ‘@Bristol’ it’s a combination of science, the world around us and sport and makes for a great whole day out for all the family.
• The Cotswolds. Around an hour out of Bristol, this is where you’ll find the ‘chocolate box’ cottages so reminiscent of England’s rural past. They’re complemented with some great inns and country hotels too!
• Clifton Gorge and the Suspension Bridge. One of the most recognisable sights in England, the bridge and the beautiful gorge it crosses are a great way to spend an afternoon seeing nature and man’s ingenuity in harmony.
