Hiring a car at Bristol Airport (BRS)

Bristol is a vibrant and exciting university town with lots going on, so no surprise if you've flown down to spend the weekend and need a rental car to get around.

With the largest fleet of rental cars in the country, you'll find the perfect vehicle for you at Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Whether you're travelling as a family or group of friends and need a people carrier, on a romantic break and prefer something a little more luxurious or just need a comfortable, dependable car to drive, we have the rental car you need.

With four more branches in Bristol, whether you're local or arriving in Bristol by train, you'll find an Enterprise car and van hire branch that's convenient for you.

Visiting Bristol and the Area

With the beautiful city of Bath on your doorstep and the ever-popular Cotswolds, South West and even South Wales within easy driving distance, picking up a car rental at Britain's fifth largest regional airport makes perfect sense. Bristol airport is just eight miles from the city centre, direct on the A38. If you're heading to Bath, the A368 going east will get you there in under an hour and, if South Wales is your final destination, you can take the M4 and the M48. 

Heading to the Beach

If you fancy a seaside stay, hop on the A368 westward and in just over half an hour you'll be on the beach in Weston-super-Mare. You may see what is, arguably, the most unusual bus stop in the country while you're there. Silica, or as the locals call it, the carrot, is a 30-metre high spire that is lit up at night and is a piece of public artwork that doubles as a bus stop.

Getting to Glastonbury from Bristol

Bristol is the closest airport to Glastonbury so, if you’ve flown into Bristol airport on the way to the festival, take the A38 south through the scenic Mendip Hills, it’s under an hour away and you can stop off in Cheddar to visit the gorge and maybe stock up on the local cheese.

An additional refuelling charge may apply at some locations.
