Car & Van Rental in Berkshire?
The Royal County of Berkshire earned its title due to the presence of the Windsor Castle. This is a county with a rich, fascinating heritage and visitors to Berkshire can truly revel in the history. Being such an important location in Britain, Berkshire has also been the battling ground for a number of wars. Visitors can learn about the various historic engagements that have taken place here, such as the First Battle of Newbury, the Battle of Englefield and the Battle of Reading.
With the River Thames forming the northern boundary, Berkshire has several tributaries that act as lovely backdrops to the lush plains of the countryside. The beautiful gardens that are spread all over the area will make your trip to Berkshire worthwhile. There are also horse racing venues, such as Newbury, that are ideal for aficionados. For the independently minded traveller, a car hire can be easily arranged, with strategically located Enterprise branches in and around the county.
Our Vehicles for Hire in Berkshire
There are a number of reasons for travelling to Berkshire. From family trips to business expeditions, Enterprise car hire has a range of suitable vehicles to rent in Berkshire. For larger groups or those with heavy luggage requirements, a people carrier is a wise choice. Our fleet also includes mini MPVs, full-size MPVs and nine-passenger mini buses. These alternatives are worthwhile considerations when travelling in a group, too, as they provide comfort for seven or more individuals, plus enough room for luggage.
We also have 4x4s in several size variants on offer. Winter travelling can be particularly atrocious as the roads tend to be tricky to navigate, but thankfully, SUVs have the capability to deal with such challenging roads and uneven terrain. Business-oriented clientele may find our range of commercial vans, which vary from medium-sized to extra-large vehicles, are more suited to their needs. At Enterprise, we also have an array of cars, from executive rides to family saloons.
Attractions in Berkshire
With so much to see and do in the area, a car will give you the kind of freedom you need to explore this region at your own pace. The Windsor Castle is undoubtedly the most famous attraction in Berkshire and for good reason. It is the oldest occupied castle in the world and serves as Her Majesty the Queen’s official residence. Windsor Castle has been standing for over 1,000 years, and that comes with a wealth of history to delve into. Some of the things to see include Queen Mary’s Doll House, St. Georges Chapel and the Drawing Gallery, which holds exhibitions from the Royal Collection. The Queen’s Gardens are a glorious sight, while the Long Walk offers a great way to unwind. The Savill Garden is another attraction that gives you a chance to reconnect with nature. It spans 35 acres of beautifully designed ornamental gardens.
Visiting Berkshire without seeing the River Thames is almost impossible. Experience the splendour of this famous waterway as you cruise past various Berkshire towns. With a hire car, you can find your way to Downtown Abbey and fall in love with the grand structure that looks just as good as it does in the acclaimed TV drama of the same name. The Vintage Garden Party is an excellent way to try out Downtown-style dressing as you discover every inch of the place. For some exciting horse racing action, the Ascot Racecourse is one of many that you can check out in Berkshire. Get some cultural insights by touring the Slough Museum, the Berkshire Medical Heritage Centre and the Museum of English Life.
Places to Visit Outside Berkshire
To the south of Berkshire is Hampshire, which is known as the home of the Royal Navy, Air Force and British Army. The South Hampshire Lowlands and the South Cast Plain are examples of sights that you should include in your trip. Greater London is to the east of the county and a car rental gives you a chance to explore its diverse culture and history. Buckinghamshire is another place outside Berkshire that has plenty in store, from its expansive landscapes to towns such as Buckingham and Milton Keynes.
Airport Car Hire
Berkshire has a favourable location in the south of England, and major airports are not far off. Our services are available at Southampton, Gatwick and Heathrow airports, all of which offer convenient access to the county.
Parking and Traffic Information in Berkshire
The transportation links in south-east England are well developed, so you will get the most out of a hired car. Some of the motorways that you can take include the M1, M2, M11, M26, M27 and M40, in addition to other major A roads. Berkshire is highly populated, primarily due to its proximity to London, and that can present a few problems when it comes to parking.
