Location information for Gloucester

Transport

Gloucester city centre is easy to explore on foot as attractions are reasonably close together. For links to surrounding areas there are bus services, but car rental in Gloucester is the most convenient way to get around. Trains link the city with other major UK cities such as London and Bristol, with nearby Gloucestershire Airport hosting flights to Jersey.

Car Hire Gloucester

Rental cars are easy to obtain in the city centre and at the airport and rail station, with many companies such as Europcar, Thrifty and Enterprise offering their services. To save time and get the best deal as well as the vehicle of their choice, visitors should compare car hire in advance.

Driving

Driving in Gloucester is convenient as the roads are well maintained, well signposted and linked with the M5. The stunning scenery of the Cotswolds is popular with tourists, so it can be difficult to get parking spaces in the city and traffic on minor roads can become congested during peak season.

For those interested in the past, within easy driving distance of the city lie the ruins of Great Witcombe Roman Villa and St Oswald's Priory. Car hire in Gloucester is the best way to take in these attractions.
