Holidaymakers planning their summer getaways have been voicing their concerns about the sky-high costs of public transport. One stunned traveller recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his disbelief after finding out a round-trip from Newcastle to London would set him back nearly £800.
We’ve found a more wallet-friendly way to get around for holidaymakers or daytrippers wanting to spend more on fun and less on fares. Thanks to a fresh offer from Enterprise-Rent-A-Car, hiring a compact SUV that seats five passengers could cost just £111.66 for four days – working out at a very agreeable £5.50 per person.
With a broad range of cars to fit all budgets, Enterprise-Rent-A-Car has over 420 branches across the UK. Motorists who book online can also bag an extra 10% off when they prepay, making your holiday easier on the purse strings.
For anyone considering taking off on a road trip, this cheap car hire deal could be significantly less expensive than travelling by train or bus. Without the need for long queues or travelling to and from stations, it’s more convenient too.
If you can’t get to a branch, Britain’s biggest car hire company can arrange to come and collect you, or if you are heading overseas Enterprise car hire is available in over 70 countries, with 7,600 branches worldwide.
Hiring a car means you can simply hop into your vehicle when it’s convenient for you and head off on your next adventure. You can also throw your luggage in the boot without having to worry about lugging it around with you.
If the coast is calling you, driving to any one of the most beautiful beaches in Britain could save you money even with the extra cost of fuel. Or perhaps a city break is something you are considering? According to Trainline.com, a return fare from London to Edinburgh by train could cost as much as £100 per adult, each way.
Fancy a week in the great outdoors? Hiring a car will not only cost you less to find your perfect field, but you’ll also be able to take all the hiking and camping gear you’ll need to enjoy it. From a cosy cottage by the sea to a treehouse perched high above the countryside, having a car makes it much easier to explore rural retreats.
