KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Coventry

  • Do you want to visit the Coventry Transport Museum and the famous Coventry Cathedral, but also the many golf courses and nature parks dotted around the city? With a hire car, there are no limits to your travel itinerary, allowing you the freedom to explore everything this beautiful city has in store.
  • The closest international airport to Coventry is Birmingham International Airport, which is 11 miles from the city and only a 20-minute drive away. Travelers can get a car directly from a range of agencies offering hire cars on site and continue their way to Coventry hassle-free and in comfort. Head to the arrivals hall, where internationally renowned agencies like Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz are situated.
  • Consider renting a GPS system with your hire car for your time in Coventry if you are not used to driving on the left side of the road. In the beginning it can be confusing, but with extra attention to the road and a GPS system, drivers should face no problems. The biggest challenges are with roundabouts and intersections – remember to enter the former clockwise and to venture into the latter extra attentively.
  • Rush hour usually hits Coventry on weekdays around 7-9 am and in the evenings from 5 to 7 pm. A4053 is the ring around the city and is most affected during these peak times, so try to avoid it if possible. Even though England does not get too much snow in the winter, due to freezing rain and sleet, the roads can become slippery during the cold months and extra attention and caution are required.
  • When booking your cheap car hire in Coventry, you may be interested in enjoying a few short road trips around the city. There are some fantastic towns and neighbouring cities within easy reach, as the UK is relatively small and easy to travel by car. Consider a trip up to Rugby, a market town that’s the birthplace of the famous sport of the same name. It has many historical sites to enjoy such as parks, manicured gardens, a nature reserve and a rich heritage that dates back to medieval days.
  • Being a visitor to the UK provides great opportunities to see art, culture and history in one fell swoop – and doing it in a group is all the more fun. If choosing a Coventry car hire for a family, why not consider a larger vehicle, such as a passenger van, to keep the family together? Passenger vans are comfortable with slick interiors, multimedia entertainment centres, air-conditioning and ample luggage space for camping trips, road trips and more. Look for 7, 9 or 9-seater options.
  • If you are driving in the UK, you will find the majority of car hires will have manual transmission. This way of shifting gears allows for great control when climbing steep inclines, but many tourists are not taught to drive with manual transmission. If you prefer an automatic shift, ensure your car hire company can provide one and always check the details of the vehicle before finishing your online transaction.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Coventry for £20 or less
  • Book your car hire in Coventry at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Coventry are around 63% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about car hire in Coventry

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Coventry?

    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.

  • What’s the speed limit in Coventry?

    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.

  • Where are the best places to park in Coventry?

    On-street parking time limits range from 2 to 4 hours in Coventry, and it is best to check the designated sign for details.

In fact, you may even be charged a young-drivers fee if you are under 23 years of age by certain car hire companies.

Certain cities in the UK have a maximum age limit of 75 for car hire, but Coventry is exempt from this law.
