KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cirencester

  • Car hire in Cirencester allows you the freedom to travel when you please, rather than having to wait on train and bus schedules to get to your destination. You can also travel direct with a hire car, which isn’t always the case with public transport. For example, you can drive to Cheltenham in about 30min, which is a journey that takes around 1 hour using public transport and sometimes requires a transfer.
  • Bristol Airport (BRS) is one of the closest major airports to Cirencester, with it being around 64 km (40 miles) away. There are a wide range of car hire companies that you can pick from, making it a great location to get a vehicle from. You can find agencies such as Budget in the airport terminal, with other companies, such as Hertz, being a short journey away on a free shuttle. Your Cirencester car hire provider will give you the keys to your vehicle once you have filled in the documents, shown ID, and completed payment.
  • Using a car hire in Cirencester, you’ll see it’s a quaint market town in Gloucestershire that’s a popular tourist location. In the peak summer months, be wary of tourists stepping out in the road, as the pavements can get very busy. This is also a hotspot for cycle tourism, so you should regularly check your mirrors so that you’re aware of your immediate surroundings.
  • When driving a Cirencester hire car, you will find the roads get very busy during peak holiday season. During rush hour, which is from about 8:00 to 9:00 in the morning and around 17:00 to 18:00 in the evening, many locals travel to nearby locations such as Swindon for work. If you want to drive on quieter roads, it’s best to avoid these times. The A417 is one of the busiest roads, so if you want to drive on a quieter road you can try Kingshill Lane, which takes you in a similar direction.
  • Book your car hire in Cirencester at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini hire cars in Cirencester are around 31% cheaper than other car types, on average
