Top Tips for Hiring an SUV in Cardiff
- If you’re travelling to Cardiff, SUV hire is an ideal transport option for you. Despite being a bustling city, Cardiff is well connected by road to many nearby areas. Rural roads in Wales are often hilly and not always well maintained, making an SUV an ideal option for driving on country tracks. If you hire an SUV in Cardiff, you will have access both to the main roads around the town and many rural areas that smaller car types might struggle to drive on. Perfect if you want to get out of the city and explore your surroundings.
- Travellers arriving at Cardiff Airport will find plenty of convenient car hire options available at the terminals. If you’re looking for Cardiff SUV hire during your stay, it is a good idea to use the Enterprise car hire branch located at the airport. This way, you can pick up your SUV and get on the road as soon as you arrive.
- Cardiff is a small city with a relatively low population. Drivers in the city are not faced with much traffic congestion and will find that most roads are only crowded during the weekday rush hour. Hiring an SUV in Cardiff is an ideal option as you will generally find space to manoeuvre and park, even while driving in the city. Roads outside of the city centre also tend to be quiet and are generally wide enough for you to enjoy a bit of extra space with your hire vehicle.
- If you plan to hire an SUV while in Cardiff, it may be a good idea to avoid driving in the city at certain times. Traffic in the morning and afternoon rush hours, between 7:00 and 9:00 and again from 17:00 to 19:00, may slow down your journey slightly, especially on central routes around Wood Street, St Mary Street roundabout or Callaghan Square. Also, avoid the central shopping district and park your vehicle nearby instead, as the streets in this area can be pretty narrow.

May 2018
Pros:
Pickup service was excellent. Car great. Mileage very good.Cons:
Hertz rep explained that because Hertz is the only rental agency at LGW North, the airport authorities will not allow more rental return signage. Follow the specific instruction given by the Sofitel porters in the layby.7.6 Good
Apr 2017
Pros:
The gentleman who I gave the car to was very helpful. He helped order me a taxi after and was very nice.Cons:
There wasn't anywhere to park the car. They didn't have a parking lot or any designated places for returning cars. It was very frustrating. I didn't like that even though I prepaid for a full tank of gas, I didn't get any money back when I returned it more than half full. Felt a little cheated there.keddy by Europcar
