Milton Keynes car hires from £22/day

Due to the relative lack of gridlock in Milton Keynes, you’re pretty free to choose any model of hire car you prefer, although you’ll always get better fuel economy from a compact car if you’re going to be mainly driving in the city centre, simply because of the traffic lights. If you want to roam the surrounding countryside, then hire a saloon or an MPV. If you really intend to do some serious off-roading in the area, then a 4x4 would be an appropriate choice. These are all standard options with most companies offering car hire in Milton Keynes.
