Hiring a car at Chelmsford

Chelmsford is the only city in Essex, making it a major leisure, commercial and retail centre. It boasts two substantial shopping centres, full of top-brand outlets and upmarket boutiques. There are also plenty of cafes and coffee shops to relax in. With the backing of Enterprise Rent-A-Car's outstanding service, you can easily head to nearby attractions, such as the neo-classical Hylands House and its 500 acres of parkland, or the excitement of the new, floodlit Chelmsford City Racecourse. Quieter sporting pleasures are on offer at Hanningfield Reservoir's trout fishery, and there are plenty of animals to see at the Tropical Wings Zoo. The city itself has its share of highlights, especially the medieval cathedral and the Shire Hall. Chelmsford has a packed programme of festivals and events, not least the musical extravaganza of the V Festival each summer. You can also take a narrowboat trip along the Chelmer and Blackwater Canal, watching the world go by at a leisurely pace. Enterprise has a branch in Chelmsford on Rainsford Road, just a 10-minute walk west of the city centre.
