Best places to visit in the UK

Best places to visit in the UK

  • London: The capital’s rich history and iconic attractions make it one of the most popular holiday destinations. Enjoy world-class exhibitions at the V&A museum, get a history lesson at the Tower of London and ride the London Eye for a bird’s-eye view of the city. Visitors can also stroll around the verdant gardens, visit bustling markets and treat yourself to quintessential afternoon tea.
  • Edinburgh: Built on rocky hills overlooking the sea, dynamic Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital. Stroll through the cobbled streets of the Old Town, hike up to Arthur’s Seat for the best views over the city and explore impressive Edinburgh Castle. Hire a car in the UK to see more of Scotland attractions, including historic St. Andrews, Hadrian’s Wall, Loch Ness and the Scottish Highlands.
  • Northern Ireland: The natural beauty of Northern Ireland is truly breathtaking. Experience it for yourself on a trip along the exhilarating Causeway Coastal Route or driving through the landscape of glens, mountains and forests. See historic castles and the magnificent Giant’s Causeway, visit the cities of Belfast and Londonderry, and take a tour of the oldest distillery in the world.

This is my 2nd hire at this Sixt location. Fabulous customer service & follow up (left some straps in the van last time and Adrian put them aside). Adrian makes you feel like you are the only customer they've got - very engaging & attentive. The efficient Sixt process & systems round off a no brainer 'go to' reason for van hire in my experience.
