Car & Van Hire - Chester

We offer a full range of vehicles to suit your requirements, ranging from the latest Class A mini cars, such as a Toyota Aygo (or similar), to economical Vauxhall Corsas. For getting around with travel bags or shopping, we can provide larger compact cars, including a choice of the Ford Focus, Skoda Octavia or Vauxhall Insignia. Hill walking enthusiasts travelling to the Shropshire Hills or East Denbighshire may wish to consider an MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) such as the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer or the SEAT Alhambra – or a 4x4. The Toyota Rav 4 or Volvo XC60 in our fleet make driving a pleasure, especially along tree-lined, country park access roads leading to picnic places and scenic viewpoints.

Alternatively, larger groups travelling with luggage to nearby regional airports will find the Ford Transit Custom Tourneo nine-passenger mini bus ideal for their needs.

This historic Roman city and the surrounding area boast so many local attractions that it would be impossible to see everything in just one visit. Apart from a stroll around the well-preserved walls originally designed to protect the ancient fortress, visitors should not miss The Rows. These covered walkways date back 700 years and house delightful shopping arcades inside timbered, Tudor-style buildings.

Just a minute or two’s walk from Chester Cross, the stylish Grosvenor shopping centre combines the classic and the contemporary. The nearby Eastgate arch with landmark clock is just one of several photograph opportunities that this splendid city has to offer, while the Deva Roman Experience is in Pierpoint Lane (just off Pepper Street) and features an interactive museum with displays of Roman Britain.

Alternatively, a boat trip on the River Dee or a walk through the park gardens and amphitheatre ruins are other great options when enjoying a stay in the centre. The adjacent Grosvenor Park is home to a friendly grey squirrel population, while Chester Zoo is just a short hop away – near the suburbs of Newton, Hoole and Upton-by-Chester. Boasting over 500 animal species, these zoological gardens are considered to be the UK’s number one such attraction. Here, experts work to protect endangered animal species, many in relatively open enclosures set in well-kept parkland. Together with the blossoming, ornate gardens, the grounds cover 125 acres and offer free parking to visitors.

With Cheshire as your base, you can really make the most of the convenience provided by the excellent road and transport links to the surrounding Cheshire and scenic Wirral peninsula countryside. Ness Botanic Gardens and the beaches from Heswall to Hoylake are worth a visit, or choose from scenic and tranquil villages set in beautiful countryside, with various gardens and farms open for public visits and guided trips. Tatton Park with a Tudor hall, farm and landscaped gardens is just one such example.

Nearby market towns include Frodsham and Neston. Alternatively, you may wish to explore east Denbighshire or Shrewsbury and the north of Shropshire. An excellent road network to North Wales means that the Welsh coast and a number of castles are within relatively easy reach.

Situated between Chester and Ellesmere Port and easily reached via the A41 or M56/M53 motorways, the Cheshire Oaks designer outlet retail park is a magnet for shoppers seeking fashion bargains. Other attractions include football clubs at Liverpool and Manchester, while the Ellesmere Port canal boat museum offers an experience of yesteryear.

Ample paid parking is available throughout Chester, with on-street metering or in multi-storey car parks, particularly Northgate Street, Pepper Street and Frodsham Street, and City Road near the station. Outside the city walls, a limited number of on-street parking places can be found outside the busiest shopping periods. However, do remember to check the parking signs, as in some areas this free parking expires after 9 a.m. on weekdays.
