Babies under 15 months must be in a rear-facing infant carrier or a backward-facing convertible seat, while children aged 15 months to 4 years must use a rear-facing or forward-facing convertible seat, or a front-facing seat with a harness.

  • It's important to remember that drinking and driving is dangerous and can lead to accidents or serious injuries, as well as legal consequences. In Telford, UK, the legal limit for alcohol while driving is 0.08% blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or 35 micrograms of alcohol in 100 ml of breath. This limit applies to all drivers, regardless of their age or experience. In addition, driving while under the influence of alcohol is considered a criminal offence and can result in a fine, a driving ban or imprisonment. The severity of the penalty depends on the level of the offence.
  • It is worth noting that the return policy for a cheap car hire in Telford may vary depending on the company you rent from. However, it's required to return the rental car to the same location where you picked it up. Some rental car companies may permit returns at different branches for an additional fee, but it's best to check with the company beforehand to confirm their policy. For example, both Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Zipcar have branches in Telford, and they require customers to return the car to the same location where it was rented unless otherwise arranged.
  • Car hire in Telford offers you the opportunity to enjoy the medieval and industrial wonders of this historically rich West Midlands town. Take a short drive out to the volcanic hill of Wrekin and hike up for views as far as Manchester. Stay local with a mind-blowing visit to open-air museum Blist Hill Victorian Town and witness authentic Victorian-age living. If you fancy using your car hire for a longer spin, an hour’s drive will find you in the gorgeous town of Ludlow, where the original medieval Stokesay Castle stands proud as a complete manor to visit. The 15th-century ruins of Ludlow Castle are well worth a visit for history enthusiasts.

  • The Telford road-building method was largely adopted for its innovation by many UK towns over the years, leaving the wide and well-maintained roads quite pleasant to drive on with your car rental. Central town streets are pedestrian-heavy but lack access for vehicles, meaning you will be free to drive without too much public congestion. It is always advisable to book a sat-nav with your car hire in Telford to assist with road congestion, roadworks and navigation if you are new to the area.
  • The predominant motorway that feeds into Telford is the M54 and traffic is generally well managed, with light congestion at the A464 turn-off.

An area to avoid is the Whitchurch Drive and Bennetts Bank circle, as well as intersections leading off from the A442 dual carriageway into Telford.

9.6 Wonderful

Aug 2016

KAYAK

Pros:

Booked a 7 seater last year and had the same model car again; good service and friendly staff

Cons:

Had to come back a day early as office not open on Sunday and Bank holiday Monday. Drop off / Pick up should be available 7 days a week in this day and age, especially for a service company.

8.8 Very Good

Jul 2016

KAYAK

Pros:

A comfortable, nimble, fast and economical car. Transported 4 of us 350 miles with ease.

Cons:

The sat nav in London was possibly the worst I've ever come across, it had obviously never been there before and hadn't a clue! Had lots of those terrible moments where we found ourselves driving in the opposite direction to where we should have been going. My memories of 30 years were much more effective.

Car hire insurance in Telford

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver

Some Telford car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Telford.
