KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Leeds
- Leeds, like much of England, is best navigated via personal vehicle. It is, in fact, the largest city in England to lack both light rail and a metro system. This means that visitors must rely on a slow bus system that often has limited service in the evening. As a result, it is highly recommended that tourists rent a vehicle during their time in the city as it will offer them the most freedom and the easiest way of getting around.
- Looking forward to beginning your trip in Leeds? Start your trip with a quick stop to pick up your hire car.

To reach the hire center from the airport, travelers can hop on one of the 24/7 shuttles that stop just outside the main exit of the airport.
