Hiring a car at Cheltenham City Centre

Cheltenham is a fashionable spa town on the edge of the Cotswolds, in Gloucestershire. When you hire a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car in central Cheltenham, you can easily explore quaint Cotswolds villages. Other places to visit in your hire car include Cleeve Hill for stunning views and walks, and the 15th century Studley Castle near Winchcombe. In Cheltenham itself, park up and admire the Regency architecture. Visit the trendy Montpelier district and stroll past the famous Cheltenham Ladies College. Of course, there's the racecourse, where many events take place throughout the year. Cheltenham is very close to the M5 motorway, therefore easily accessible from South West and North West England. Since the M5 connects to other major motorways, such as the M42 and the M6, it's easy to get anywhere in the UK when you hire from Enterprise. The Enterprise branch is near The Brewery, on the A419. From here, it's easy to access the whole of Cheltenham and beyond. Cheltenham has a railway station about a mile to the west of the town centre, as well as a central bus station.
