KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Loughborough

  • Car hire in Loughborough will ensure you have an easy trip, regardless of whether you are travelling for business or pleasure. A hire car means you can explore more of the surrounding countryside and have easy access to some of the quaint villages in the rest of the East Midlands. The trains are a reliable alternative; however, they do not run very often, meaning you’ll be governed by a train timetable anytime you wish to do something. Plus, there are plenty of options for Loughborough car hire. Loughborough is also very close to Derby and the beautiful countryside around there, so you’ll want to have a vehicle to explore those regions too.
  • For car hire in Loughborough, you may want to consider hiring your vehicle from East Midlands Airport (EMA), which is Loughborough’s nearest airport. There is an Enterprise in the short-stay car park of the terminal building. A free shuttle bus operates between the terminal and the short-stay car park, so getting to Enterprise is relatively hassle free. There is also a Green Motion office at Hilton near East Midlands Airport. This hire office is slightly further away but easily accessible via a short taxi ride.
  • The roads in the United Kingdom are easy to navigate, and their surfaces are generally of high quality. You need to stick to the rules of the road, as the traffic police are very strict with things like drinking and driving and speeding. If you get a speeding fine with a hire car, the car hire agency will ask you to pay the full amount as well as an admin fee. If you stick to the rules of the road with your car hire in Loughborough, you should have no problem.
  • Any city in the UK will become heavily congested during rush hour times. Anyone who possibly can avoid driving during rush hour should, as it could add up to an hour to your estimated travel time. Because of Loughborough University, the city is also very much a student town, so you should take extra care around the university campus and areas where students like to hang out, especially if you are driving in the evenings.
