Why hire a car?

If flexibility is important to you, car hire is your best bet when it comes to travelling around your destination. In fact, it may also work out to be slightly cheaper if you take into consideration multiple taxi fares, train tickets and the like. Not to mention waiting around for public transport in the inevitable rain in the UK!
