Car Rental in Coventry

Located in central England, Coventry is an ancient city that likely grew from a settlement from the Bronze Age. After experiencing Roman rule, Danish invasion, and royal influence from Lady Godiva, it has developed into a major centre for industry and tourism. With excellent highways connecting Coventry to nearby cities such as Birmingham, it's no wonder more and more travellers are choosing it as their place to stay while exploring the area with their rental car. Auto Europe offers several pick up locations and a large fleet selection, so finding a car rental in Coventry is both easy and economical.

Traveling in Coventry with a Car Hire

You can collect your rental car at any one of the major towns and cities in the UK and drive to Coventry, or alternatively collect your car on arrival and be on your way to see the sights. Once you are on your way, why not begin with a visit to one of the oldest and grandest buildings in the area, Holy Trinity Church. Drive your hire car into the centre of town, and spend some time exploring the cathedral, which was built during the 12th century and is an icon of the city today.

Also worth a visit is St. Michael's Cathedral, one of Coventry's best-known landmarks dating back to the 14th century. It has some of England's tallest cathedral spires! After visiting some of Coventry's religious iconography, head to Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Midland Air Museum, or Coventry Transport Museum for art and artifacts. You can also hop over to Baginton for Lunt Fort, which is a reconstructed Roman fort upon a site where Roman artifacts have been unearthed dating back 2,000 years.

If you are a sports enthusiast, rest assured you can get your fix in Coventry. The city is active in football, ice hockey, basketball, rugby, and American football, so be sure to take in a game! Art lovers will be impressed with the many offerings Coventry boasts. Warwick Arts Centre, Belgrade Theatre and Ricoh Arena all serve up an abundance of music, performance and theater.
