Shrewsbury car hires from £25/day

If you’re travelling solo or with a couple of mates, a small economy car or compact is most affordable and better equipped to handle any narrow downtown streets you encounter. If you intend to spend long hours on the road, however, the comfort and storage space of an SUV or intermediate saloon offers advantages over smaller cars and can carry more passengers.
