Coventry car hires from £17/day

Coventry has a very old center with narrow streets and with a smaller car it becomes easier to navigate through them. As drivers drive on the left side, stick shifts can be confusing as they would be handled with the left hand. An automatic car can therefore make matters less puzzling, allowing you to simply focus on the road.

30 mph is the maximum speed limit in the city, although it is only 20 mph in specific places, such as close to schools or highly pedestrianized areas. When leaving the city, cars can speed up to 60 mph, even 70 mph on some roads, and freeways permit up to 70 mph. Always bear the British weather in mind and adjust your speed when there is heavy rainfall or wet leaves on the road.

If you fancy a cross-continental weekend in Paris, you are welcome to take your cheap car hire in Coventry for a longer road trip through the Channel Tunnel and cross into French borders. Car rental companies that allow this service from the UK include Avis, Budget, Hertz and Europcar. It is vital you inform the car hire company of your plans to arrange the right documentation for the border and you will most likely be charged a cross-border fee.

While UK citizens may be allowed to drive from as young as 17, car hire is only allowed from the age of 21. In fact, you may even be charged a young-drivers fee if you are under 23 years of age by certain car hire companies. When you arrive to collect the vehicle, ensure you have your credit card, driver’s licence and passport with you. Certain cities in the UK have a maximum age limit of 75 for car hire, but Coventry is exempt from this law.
