KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bicester

  • Bicester is one of the UK's unsung heroes. A place often missed when planning your trip but a hub for tourists who love to explore the culture of old England, and shoppers with an eye for international fashion brands. Booking car hire in Bicester will allow you to have the best of the city and surrounding areas on your schedule, in your own style. Head to Blenheim Palace which is close to Cotworld, and just a 5min drive from Bicester City Centre or park in Bicester Village and stroll around the endless shopping hub.
  • The closest airport to Bicester is London Luton Airport (LTN), which is 55km away and takes around 50min to make the trip by car. Booking car hire in Bicester from the airport offers a wider range of cars that guarantees you won't have to wait before starting your adventure. There is a free shuttle service to the car hire areas from the stop next to the bus stop outside the main arrival terminal. Jump on at Bay C and head to the centre which is on President Way just outside the airport.
  • Driving in Bicester is a treat for any driver. The road system in the centre of town is an uncomplicated layout that isn't bogged down with the same type of traffic you'll find in other major cities. Once your venture out of the city, you'll find the country areas can be a bit narrow at times, and you'll be driving through hilly areas at times. But mostly the roads are well maintained, even in the countryside, and road signs are frequent which makes it hassle-free to get around.
  • The only real difficulties you'll find driving a Bicester car hire is when exploring the countryside's rolling hills. The road can get a bit narrow and windy. During the rainy months you'll find going up and down the rolling hills can be a challenge for less experienced drivers. The weather can play a part in increasing driving difficulties, especially during September when there is often a heavy fog in the area.
  • Intermediate hire cars in Bicester are around 57% cheaper than other car types, on average
