KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bridgwater
- Car hire in Bridgwater is a great opportunity to explore the busy inland port or drive through the West Quay, along Castle Street and King Square. Peruse the Georgian townhouses before heading out to some of the main attractions like the Bridgwater Blake Museum, the EDF's Hinkley Point Visitor Centre, and the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. You can do all of this without trying to figure out the public transport system or relying on someone else's schedule. Local taxis and city cabs can also be expensive so hiring a car will save you in the long run.
