KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Rugby

  • When you hire a car in Rugby you not only give yourself the freedom to explore this charming town in the midlands but its surrounding areas as well. The World Rugby Hall of Fame and the Webb Ellis Rugby Football Museum are a treat for rugby fans, or you can check out the range of art galleries and shops around the centre of town. Venture further afield and you’ll find lovely scenic walks at the Swift Valley Nature Reserve, which is accessible in under 10min by car. The bustling city of Birmingham is only 50min away, and you can discover the quieter town of Stratford-Upon-Avon (the birthplace of William Shakespeare) in around 40-45min.
  • Birmingham International Airport is located roughly 27 miles away from Rugby and has a wide range of car hire firms to choose from. You can find the likes of Avis, Sixt, Europcar and more between Costa and Wrapchic in the Arrivals area of the main terminal building. Take the 5min walk to Car Park 4 from there and you’ll be behind the wheel of your Rugby car hire in no time. Hit the M6 heading east and you can be in the centre of Rugby in just over 30min.
  • Roads in Rugby are well maintained and it’s generally an easy town to get around. There are a number of one-way streets and larger junctions in the centre, so you may find adding a sat-nav to your car hire in Rugby helpful. On weekends in particular, keep an eye out for pedestrians crossing the road between parked cars. Extra attention may be required on residential streets, which can be narrow and have cars parked on either side along them.
  • The rush hour period in and around Rugby usually lasts between 07:30-09:30 and 16:30-18:30, with a slight rise during lunch time. Roads such as the M6 and A45 between Rugby and Coventry can be particularly clogged up, so it’s better to avoid them during peak times and on Saturday mornings. During the winter, heavy rain and snow can be expected in Rugby, so you’ll have to adjust your speed accordingly and maintain a safe distance between you and the driver in front.
  • Book your car hire in Rugby at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
