Car Hire Swindon

Swindon Mini Guide

What can you Tell me About Swindon?
Swindon was an important market town from ancient days beginning life as a Saxon defensive position atop a hill. It remained just that until the beginning of Victoria’s reign when Isambard Brunel touted the town as the ideal location for his great railway works. It grew meteorically thereafter only falling a little by the wayside when Beeching took his axe to the rail network leaving the town as a dinosaur in the engineering landscape.

How Easy is it to get to Swindon?
With the easy access to the M4, Swindon is equidistant from Bristol International Airport and Heathrow. As an overseas traveller, with little to choose between the two, go for the cheapest or the one with the closest departure point to your location. You can rent a car at Heathrow Airport or Bristol Airport and make the hassle free journey to Swindon with ease. Not only are road links good but the Paddington line from London to the South West passes through Swindon making it just as easy to get there by train and then hire a car in Swindon.

What Should I see or do in Swindon?
You must visit the museum dedicated to the town’s original life blood – the railway. Steam: The Great Western Railway Museum is second only in size and importance to the one in York and is loved by all boys, no matter how old. Nerds will love the Museum of Computing too whilst for those in search of peaceful activity, there are many walks along the Wilts and Berks Canal.

There are few better places to hire a car in the UK than Swindon, strange in what was until recently a predominantly railway town. The preponderance of fast road access to other parts of the south of England makes it a great base to explore England if you’re on a whistle-stop tour of the country.
