Location information for Bristol

Bristol, perhaps the UK's most up and coming city in the Industrial Revolution, today make for an excellent gateway to the lovely spa town of Bath, the Cotswolds, the western English coast and the lovely rolling downs of Somerset as well as being a top destination in its own right. Cheap car hire in Bristol would be your best option for you to tour the sites.

Bristol has become one of Britain's most happening cities, with a lively university atmosphere and a revived town centre. Also onsite is the SS Great Britain – the world' first great ocean liner. There are plenty of budget car rental agents in Bristol so it is fairly easy to get a car so that you can make the most of this fascinating city.

Discovering Bristol's best sights is best done with cheap car hire in Bristol. Unmissable is IK Brunel's Clifton Suspension Bridge, a feat of modern engineering when it was first erected. Architecture buffs will enjoy the Byzantine style decorations on the buildings in the dockside area while lovers of religious buildings can take in the medieval St Mary Redcliffe Church and John Wesley's New Rooms.

Budget car rental in Bristol affords you an easy way to tour the city's museums. There are a range of galleries and museums to choose from, with popular ones being the Bristol Industrial Museum, the City Museum and Art Gallery and the British Empire and Commonwealth Museum.

Other worthy attractions include Portishead, a quaint seaside getaway; the Chew Valley and the delightful spa town of Bath, all of which are easily explored using car hire in Bristol.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Ecarz.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).
