Car hire in the South
East |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The
South East still breathes of prehistory and the
mysteries of the Iron Age, and the long course
of human history . . . Stonehenge
sits there on its gentle mound and everyone wonders
what its purpose was. Well, if you had only very big
slabs of stone to make your garden sundial from, it'd
probably end up largish, wouldn't it?
To tour the South East you
can pick up a car at Heathrow, or Gatwick
airport (or any of about thirty other places, really)
and head dead South to Brighton on the coast.
From there you can get out your road
Atlas, a book about the size of the New York Times,
but with more accurate information, and take your pick
of great sights to see.

Car hire in UK and more . . .
|
Summer is kindest to this country,
but the locals, Norse and Saxon stock of old, are not stupid
and love the fat life this rich and easy land provides.
So in winter you just go from warm pub to
warm restaurant, feed to feed, and go home heavier, but well
satisfied.
There's stacks to see, from Nelson's ship
HMS Victory, to the Naval museum in Portsmouth and
then the Normans' first castle at Hastings, and the
whole 1066 thing, as well as the downs themselves, with their
giant figures mysteriously graven into the chalk hillsides.
Click on the button, type in your date, place
and duration of hire and we'll give you back a list of providers
so you can choose the best deal. We call it "Quote and
Pick" . . . and it works.
This system will provide you with
the car and the cost that suits you best.
The links below will take you to our main South East
of England car rental locations. Pick up and drop off
details are on your booking confirmation . . . |

|

| Location Address |
Bournemouth
Several providers. Consult your confirmation email for
pickup and drop addresses |
| Location Information |
| Bournemouth,
is a holiday town on the South Coast, and the gateway
to the Isle of Wight on one hand, and the Devon
a hinterland on the other. A pleasant town, and not
to difficult to manage, but very busy in summer. Book
everything well ahead.
|
| Location Address |
Brighton
Various addresses throughout the city. Please consult
your booking confirmation for pick up and drop off details.
|
| Location Information |
| Brighton is
a big, busy and almost perfectly preserved Georgian
seaside town. You can pick up a car from your chosen
rental provider without any problems, from there the
rest of the the South and the borders are easily
reached.
|
| Location Address |
Dover
Eastern Docks
Completely chaotic arrival point for ferries from France
and other parts of Europe. Be well prepared and
call your renter on the number provided before trying
to find your rental car. Referral to this excellent web
site will prepare the first time visitor somewhat, http://www.topsy.demon.co.uk/dover/intro.html.
The old town of Dover,on the other hand, and it's
surrounding district is quite enjoyable. It should not
to be confused with the mandatory chaos of an English
transport facility, be it dockyard, airport, or railway
station.
|
| Location Information |
| Picking up a car at
Dover should mean a quick fifty mile hop to London.
Do not be fooled. Avoid this by heading south east towards
Hastings. Take the coast road along the Folkestone
beach front, keep going along the beach on the A259,
and look for the signs for Rye. Once there, take
the A268 North, you'll meet the A21 at Flimwell and
after that "it's a doddle", as the English say. The
alternative is as close to hell as a four hour traffic
jam can make it.

The beach fronts of the South east, and a car to see them
with
Londoners have always regarded the stretch
of coast from Brighton round to Margate as "their
beach". Foreigners may quietly wonder what charms there can
be in rolling up your trousers to sit in a deck chair on a
beach wholly composed of large river pebbles, but to the English,
that's the beach.
If you are one of those show-offs who want
to swim and prance about, then go to Margate; that
slightly dingy grey stuff between the seawall and the
water is sand, honest . . . and when the ebb goes out
you'd better take a cut lunch to get to the water for your
swim . . . and don't forget to start back in after twenty
minutes or so, or the tide will take you to Spain.
After you've discovered the South East and
it's attractions, it's just a matter of getting there. Anywhere
that is, from Drake's old home of Devon, round to the South
head of the Thames estuary.
But that won't be a problem if you use
our revolutionary "Quote and Pick" system. Simply hit
the button for a quote anywhere on these pages, then scan
through the quotes from every one of our suppliers
in any given area, and pick the best one for you.
We have pick up points all over the Ireland
and the UK, and more coming on line all the time,
so we've about got it covered.
It's great country this, with ancient
iron age sites, Stonehenge and the standing stones,
the mysterious chalk downs, old cathedral towns and
of course, cider, great beers, scones you couldn't jump over
and thick cream, sharp cheeses . . . it is a much blessed
place . . . go on, click on the button, and get
into it. |
