Top Tips for Hiring an SUV in Leicester
- The advantage of Leicester SUV hire is that alongside the deluxe experience while on vacation, you can traverse bumpy country roads in comfort. Therefore, you can access different locations during your stay in Leicester. For example, you can visit the King Richard III Centre, where you can learn about the King, whose remains were found in 2012. Leicester SUV hire companies also offer you the most comfortable cars for road trips. Some brands include BMWs, Nissan, and hybrid or electric vehicles like Tesla. In addition, you can drive to Cheltenham & The Cotswolds, a lovely Regency Spa town, and go for hikes there. Finally, if you are a football fan, you can take a short 1.2-mile-drive to the King Power Stadium, home of Leicester Football Club, the 2015 English Premier League Champions.
- The closest airport to Leicester is East Midlands Airport which is 18 miles from the city centre. You can take a taxi to access various Leicester SUV hire companies, but some companies offer their services within the airport premises. All the SUV hire companies are in the terminal at the arrival hall. Other companies are in the car rental village, a 10-15 minute walk from the terminal. You can follow the signs to this location. Some companies include Alamo, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, Europcar, and Car Rental. You may choose an SUV brand depending on your needs. Some SUV types include off-road, long-distance, or extra space SUVs.
- Driving in Leicester depends on the time and the day. Generally, you can fit your schedule to drive in town during weekends. However, on Saturday you can save more time and visit more places. During the morning rush between 6.30 am and 8.30 am, it's best to avoid Train Station, Granby Street, Upperton Road Student Accommodation, and Charles Street. You should also avoid those streets and areas during the evening rush from 4 pm to 7.30 pm. The city has one of the slowest rush hour speeds in London, and you may lose 30 to 45 min.
- Aside from rush hour traffic congestion, driving in Leicester is easy. Most Leicester drivers adhere to road rules and are attentive drivers. Familiarising yourself with the rules allows you to cruise across the city smoothly. The Leicestershire Council keeps the roads and signage well-maintained, making it easier for visitors to navigate the city centre. We advise you to get a GPS and or phone app for better navigation of the city centre.
- Book your SUV hire in Leicester at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- April is typically the cheapest month to hire an SUV in Leicester, with prices around RM 71 per day. The most expensive month is December, with average prices of RM 100 per day.
