Traveling to Berkshire?

Our Vehicles For Rent In Berkshire

There are a number of reasons for traveling to Berkshire. From family trips to business expeditions, Enterprise car rental has a range of suitable vehicles to rent in Berkshire. For larger groups or those with heavy luggage requirements, a people carrier is a wise choice. Our fleet also includes mini MPVs, full-size MPVs and nine-passenger mini buses. These alternatives are worthwhile considerations when traveling in a group, too, as they provide comfort for seven or more individuals, plus enough room for luggage.

We also have 4x4s in several size variants on offer.

At Enterprise, we also have an array of cars, from executive rides to family sedans.

Attractions In Berkshire

With so much to see and do in the area, a car will give you the kind of freedom you need to explore this region at your own pace. The Windsor Castle is undoubtedly the most famous attraction in Berkshire and for good reason. It is the oldest occupied castle in the world and serves as Her Majesty the Queen’s official residence. Windsor Castle has been standing for over 1,000 years, and that comes with a wealth of history to delve into. Some of the things to see include Queen Mary’s Doll House, St. Georges Chapel and the Drawing Gallery, which holds exhibitions from the Royal Collection. The Queen’s Gardens are a glorious sight, while the Long Walk offers a great way to unwind. The Savill Garden is another attraction that gives you a chance to reconnect with nature. It spans 35 acres of beautifully designed ornamental gardens.

Visiting Berkshire without seeing the River Thames is almost impossible. Experience the splendour of this famous waterway as you cruise past various Berkshire towns. With a rental car, you can find your way to Downtown Abbey and fall in love with the grand structure that looks just as good as it does in the acclaimed TV drama of the same name. The Vintage Garden Party is an excellent way to try out Downtown-style dressing as you discover every inch of the place. For some exciting horse racing action, the Ascot Racecourse is one of many that you can check out in Berkshire. Get some cultural insights by touring the Slough Museum, the Berkshire Medical Heritage Centre and the Museum of English Life.
