When you think of England, Cambridge is sure to be a place that comes to mind. Wonderfully English in style and charm, this world renowned university town sits within the lavish landscapes of charming Cambridgeshire; a pure southern gem emanating a rich cultural heritage. Grab a vehicle and reward yourself with the quintessential British break. Compare cheap car hire in Cambridge with us, for the best deals so that you can embark on a journey through green fields, past grazing cows and old architecture, and filled with pure British charisma.

Why to visit

Soak up the views of King's College Cambridge from across the River Cam, watch students flocking to university, laze around beautiful parks, or have high-tea in a quaint little café. Cambridge car hire also allows you to get behind the wheel and discover all the magic of the Cambridgeshire countryside, which has influenced many writers, poets and musicians. Market towns like Ely and Bury St Edmunds offer cathedral and authentic British shopping experiences.

Transport

Cambridge's charm lies in its relaxed attitude to life. On arrival, you will immediately feel the laid back nature of this place, even though it is home to many hardworking and bright students. Transport in the city is equally relaxed: you can hire a bicycle or punt along the river and take it easy. But for the full Cambridgeshire experience, we suggest a car so you can head out into the countryside with ease.

What to see and do

With car rental in Cambridge you can travel out to the cathedral town of Ely. A nice drive through agricultural landscapes takes you to this stunning little town that hosts a majestic cathedral that dates back to 1081. There are many other market towns and small villages in Cambridgeshire which are best visited by car. Make a small road trip and hit these unique spots that host a wealth of historic buildings, heritage sites and pretty parks.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is CompareCarHire.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?
