  • Enterprise, Keddy By Europcar and Europcar are some of the top-ranked providers in the city. Use them as a starting point to compare offers.

  • Whether you book with Enterprise or another supplier, make sure you understand the coverage on your Newbury car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others sell it as a separate extra.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire can be the key to cheaper deals. Simply select 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often have to move vehicles from one branch to another, which means you can snag some excellent one-way prices on a car for rent in Newbury.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. No surprise refueling fees tacked on at the end either.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Make travel easier when you rent a car in Newbury by adding a few nifty extras. Think things like a GPS unit to make sure you never miss a turn, or reverse cameras that make parking feel effortless.

Good to know

  • You generally have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United Kingdom. Being younger isn't always a deal-breaker — just be ready for a few added rules or costs. Check the companies' terms and conditions before you book.

  • Add a car seat to your Newbury car hire booking if you're bringing the kids. Guidelines vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, size and weight is always the safest option.

  • You'll be asked to provide some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and additional photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.

  • Spend some time getting acquainted with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And remember to stick to the left side of the road in the United Kingdom.

  • Keep within local speed limits of about 40kph in urban areas and around 100kph on highways. Road signs will show if a different limit applies.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in the United Kingdom. The safest way to stay legal to drive is to avoid drinking altogether.

  • One of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination is around 5pm. Make life easier by steering clear of rush hours in general.

  • The British pound (GBP) is the currency you'll be using for general expenses and outings. Pay with a debit or credit card when you can, and keep some cash handy for places that don't accept electronic payment.

  • English is the language you'll hear most people speaking in this country.

  • Newbury Town Centre South A339 gets things right with parking and features such as a laundry and a restaurant. It's roughly 2 kilometres from the city centre.
