Car & Van Hire in Northumberland

The kind of journey you are planning will influence your choice of car. When taking a camping trip for several nights, for example, you need a vehicle that can accommodate all the essentials such as a tent, stove and utensils. If the trip involves fishing or other outdoor hobbies, then your car must provide sufficient space to haul your gear. In other instances, you may need to hook a boat or camper to the back of your ride. Such a journey demands an SUV or people carrier, both which provide a lot of interior space, as well as in the boot.

Enterprise also provides a range of cars. The options include compact, standard and economy. If it’s a simple family drive to the National Park, then an intermediate or small compact is ideal, depending on how many individuals are going.

Driving across the countryside is a truly spectacular experience with a car. The landscape is a mixture of valleys, ancient settlements, unique stone formations and untouched wilderness.

For the nature lover, Alnwick Garden, Howick Gardens & Arboretum and Cragside Estate are a few places that will quench your passion. Head over to the Woodhorn Museum & Northumberland Archives for captivating exhibitions, and a visit to Northumberland would not be authentic without seeing Hadrian’s Wall. Drive to Bamburgh Castle or Alwin Castle for a taste of English culture.

County Durham is one area you can add to your exploration plans as you venture outside of Northumberland.
