Leicester North

Leicester prides itself on Football, but there’s so much more to do that it’s just out of this world. Why not start with a visit to their National Space Centre and prepare to be blown away, not only do they have a rocket collection, they also have spacesuits worn by famous astronauts such as Tim Peake and Buzz Aldrin. You can also lay back and watch the night skies in the 3D Planetarium.

Come back to earth after your trip to the stars and visit the King Richard III Centre and immerse yourself into the world of the War of Roses and become a true detective unraveling what truly happened in this dynastic feud.

Once you’ve finished traveling to space and time, why not unwind with a nice walk-through Abbey Park and take in the beautiful views. If you’re lucky you might even get to see one of their breath-taking fireworks displays they put on for you and your family to enjoy.

You can enjoy all this and more, whilst getting around swiftly in one of our rental cars. which will help keep your carbon footprint down as we provide cars with low C02 emissions.

Tips for renting a car in Leicester

Before you rent
Choose wisely. In 2019 we introduced our multi-product system which helps you choose a car based on your needs and easily see the final price. Car rental insurance can be tricky to navigate and often isn't what you expect, by booking with us direct you'll receive the correct insurance for your rental.

When you collect your vehicle
Plan ahead. We recommend planning your route before you leave, especially when renting a car at an airport. Are you sure where you're meeting your chaperone or where the rental desk is? Your confirmation email will have the contact information for the location, so we suggest saving the number in your phone ahead of time.

Have the correct documents ready. We try and keep the check in process as painless as possible but we do need to process certain information for legal reasons so having these ready ahead of time can help speed up the process. Make sure you have your booking details ready, along with your driving licence, passport and valid credit card.

Complete a vehicle check. It's essential when you are taken to your car you complete a Vehicle Condition Report (VCR) and note any existing damage, paying particular attention to the five damage hotspots. If you don't report this, you may be liable for these damages when you return the vehicle. We don't want you to get caught out, so we've put together a handy vehicle inspection video to help you check everything thoroughly.

While you rent
Take care. Unfortunately you may be liable for any damage caused to a vehicle in your care, and this will vary depending on the product you choose. A large proportion of damages to any car can be dings you pick up in car parks, so be mindful when space is limited and park further away and walk a little further to your destination.

When you return your vehicle
Complete a vehicle check. It's time to carry out a VCR again and even more essential to fully log any damage, no matter how small, to ensure you are fully covered and we can process your return effectively. Be sure to check the vehicle as before, paying special attention to the five damage hotspots.
