Summer is peak season for exploring Britain's coastlines, national parks and historic cities. Whether you are heading to Cornwall, the Lake District or the Scottish Highlands, hiring a car gives you the freedom to travel on your own schedule — without worrying about train connections or cramped luggage space.
At Nationwide Vehicle Rentals (NVR), we deliver hire cars directly to your door anywhere in the UK, with unlimited mileage and transparent pricing. Here is how to make the most of your summer road trip.
Choose the Right Vehicle for Your Journey
For couples or small families, a comfortable economy or mid-size car is usually ideal. Travelling with extra passengers or camping gear? Consider an SUV or estate. Check boot space, fuel economy and whether you need an automatic gearbox for city driving.
Book Early for Peak Dates
School holidays and bank holiday weekends fill up quickly. Booking a few weeks ahead secures better availability and often better rates. With NVR you can book online 24/7 and secure your vehicle with just a 25% deposit.
Plan Routes — But Leave Room to Explore
Map your must-see stops, but leave time for detours. Unlimited mileage on NVR hires means you will not be penalised for scenic routes or last-minute changes of plan.
Pack Smart
- Keep documents, snacks and water within easy reach.
- Use a phone mount and download offline maps for rural areas.
- Check your tyre pressure and fluid levels before long days on the road.
