Being a coastal resort town, you’ll find a range of different vehicles to be appropriate. If you’re just there for the sea and the sunshine, you won’t need much more than a compact car or an economy model to ferry yourself to and from the beaches and resort activity areas. If you’re intending to travel along the coast a bit more, then a sedan, an MPV or a 4x4 will do you well. You can also do it in more style with a sports car or a convertible model and enjoy the sea air with the top down. Have a look at the Bournemouth car hire options you have when booking through KAYAK.

Pros:
Nice car, friendly service. After the problem with finding a car they allowed us an extra couple of days with the car and gave us a small discount.Cons:
The company had kept us waiting two hours as the auto they'd had wasn't road worthy, and so we waited while they called other stores.2 locations in Bournemouth
