Wales Car Rental Mini Guide

Where can you hire a car in Wales?

Hiring a car in Wales is a great way to get around this beautiful country and see all it has to offer. Whether you're travelling for a business meeting in Swansea, or planning a visit to the vibrant Cardiff Bay, car hire in Wales is available from leading rental agents at affordable prices.

One-way car hire in Wales

Picking up from Cardiff or Swansea is a popular option and you can always return elsewhere with a one-way car hire in Wales. Provided the rental agent you choose has an outlet at both destinations and you are happy with the modest one-way fee (around £25), one-way car hire in Wales is a viable option.

Bordered by the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean on the west, and by England to the east, Wales is both a part of the United Kingdom and an entity with the European Union in its own right.
 
Served by Cardiff International Airport, it is conveniently situated quite centrally making it the ideal place to pick up your hire car and spend a few days exploring this fine old town, before heading out into the rest of Wales. For visitors on a shorter schedule, there are a number of excellent places of interest within a short drive of the City of Cardiff, making excellent day trips and excursions.
