Discount Car Hire in St Louis

St. Louis is a lovely riverside city located in the state of Missouri in the USA. The city was founded in 1763, when French explorer Pierre Laclede established a fort on the banks of the Mississippi River.

The original settlement grew into one of mid-western America's largest cities, but the original site of its foundation, known as "Laclede's Landing," is to this day a popular reminder of St. Louis' storied past. Present day "Laclede's Landing" retains much of its historic charm, as cobble stone streets and cast iron façade buildings remain, but a number of delicious restaurants and exciting clubs have taken root in the former industrial space. "Laclede's Landing," and the rest of historic St. Louis, are full of unique spots to explore. Auto Europe can meet all of your transportation needs during your time in St. Louis.
