KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cheltenham
- The overall area of Cheltenham is about 46km squared and so using a car hire in Cheltenham makes perfect sense. By granting you the freedom and independence to travel where you want and when you want, you have a greater chance of enjoying your time there. You will not be restricted by the local timetables for public transport, and if you need to bring any equipment or travel cases, you can store them in the car without having to carry them on and off public transport. Using a car hire in Cheltenham gives you immediate access to visit famous places such as Gloucester and the Cotswolds.
- Gloucestershire Airport is one of the nearest places that you can collect your car hire in Cheltenham, and there is one primary company that provides the rental cars. Keddy by Europcar is the main rental car provider in the airport, and you can find their branch office in the main terminal building. It tends to be open from 7.00 to 23.00, but we recommend that you check this when you know your travel arrangements to the airport.
- As you will be driving your car hire in Cheltenham, you will need to follow the driving laws of the United Kingdom, starting by driving on the left-hand side of the road. You cannot turn right at a red light, and all passengers are required to wear their seat belts while in the vehicle. Also, vehicles coming from the right have priority on the roundabouts, and jaywalking is not uncommon in the Cheltenham area, so please keep an eye out for pedestrians crossing the roads.
- Rush hour in Cheltenham tends to occur just before and after the typical school and office hours, so we recommend that if possible, you try and avoid driving your Cheltenham car hire during these hours. Traffic tends to be busiest in the town city throughout the day, and the rain that is typical to the United Kingdom can quickly reduce visibility for both drivers and pedestrians so take extra care when behind the wheel to consider this.

They will also make parking in the town centre easier as the vehicle is smaller. If you would like to explore a bit further afield, then you may want to rent an intermediate car or an SUV as they will be more comfortable and better prepared to deal with any country roads.

The speed limits in the built-up areas of Cheltenham are the same as those across the Untied Kingdom, and the maximum speed you can travel at is 30mph.

Regional roads may reach speed limits of 60mph, and the motorway speed limit is capped at 70mph.

You will find plenty of places to park your car hire in Cheltenham, including both car parks and on street parking spaces. The town of Cheltenham has plenty of free parking spaces throughout the town, and we recommend that when parking, you check for either a parking meter or any signs that may warn you that it is illegal to park there. Otherwise, if you would like to park in a car park, we recommend parking in the Rodney Road Car Park, although it closes at 20.00. Another option is to park at the St Georges Road Car Park.
