Reading car rentals

When you’re booking car hire in Reading, you’d be well advised to get a vehicle that is just big enough for your needs, especially if you’re intending to spend a lot of time in the centre of town. Choose a smaller economy car or a compact model, or perhaps a small MPV if you can. If you want more luxury, a smaller saloon will do the trick. Once you’re away from the city centre and driving out to the rural areas around it, you can take advantage of something roomier, like a luxury saloon or a more sizeable 4x4.

Also keep an eye out for speed cameras near where Portman Road intersects with Chester Mews and Bridgewater Close.

Prices average out at around £1 per hour, with some of them offering the first 30min for free.
