Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Leicester?
Within the past seven days in Leicester, you could have driven off in a rental car for as little as AU$60 a day.
Can I rent a car from Birmingham Airport (BHX)?
For sure. After you’ve picked up your bags at Birmingham Airport (BHX), you’ll find the home companies located in the arrivals area. Select from Budget, Europcar / Interrent / Goldcar or Sixt. Hertz / Firefly and Alamo / Enterprise / National are also worth looking at.
What happens if I need to cancel my Leicester car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours prior to collecting the car, many reservations qualify for a full refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it’s important to understand the home agreement. Look over your confirmation for the specifics or go to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Leicester?
Mini, economy, full-size, premium … Whatever you prefer! However, compact models are the most popular in Leicester. If you’re after something reasonably priced and small, but not too small, this rental car category is a smart choice. Navigating traffic-filled streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles are slightly roomier compared to economy models and are suited to families on a budget, couples or solo travellers.
Where can I go on a road trip from Leicester?
Leicester is full of surprises, but don’t restrict yourself to just one place. Organise a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what else awaits in the surrounding region. These are some great options:

  • London is approximately 145 kilometres from Leicester. Popular sights like Buckingham Palace deserve to be high on your must-see list while you’re in town.
  • Roughly 121 kilometres away, Manchester is also a favourite with wanderers. Make time to check out Old Trafford while you’re in town. It’s one of the reasons people love visiting this vibrant city.
  • Brighton Beach is approximately 209 kilometres from Leicester and is one of the region’s most gorgeous nature spots. Go for a wander around and enjoy the fresh air.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Leicester?
In Leicester, the rule is generally 21 years of age and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the home location. Home policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require comprehensive insurance. It’s always a good idea to read the fine print carefully before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Leicester?
Most of the time, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when picking up your car. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. Rules may differ between home providers, so remember to read the fine print.
What side of the road do you drive on in Leicester?
You’ll be driving on the left-hand side of the road in Leicester. This means that the driver’s seat and controls are also on the other side to what you’re used to. Set aside ample time to familiarize yourself with your new wheels before you hit the road.
What is the cheapest car rental in Leicester?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the cheapest daily rate was AU$60. The next best price to rent a set of wheels in Leicester was AU$64 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Leicester?
Expedia makes it a snap to find a quality long-term car rental in Leicester. Just visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and compare your options.
Where can I find a Leicester car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car under the age of 25 in Leicester often depends on the holiday home provider you select. Some places apply a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years of age, but others may not apply any extra fees for this age bracket. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your selected car rental dealer to escape any nasty surprises when collecting your car.
