Car hire Leeds

The North Yorkshire city of Leeds has overcome its post WWII decline to become England's third biggest city as well as the country's most important financial centre outside of London. Many United Kingdom residents now rank Leeds as their favourite city thanks to its lively nightlife, stately Victorian shopping arcades, and scenic Aire River location in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.

Transport

Leeds is one of Great Britain's most important transportation hubs thanks to its location in the country's geographic centre. Although Leeds has its own international airport, many international visitors still use the larger Manchester Airport for its greater variety of flights and places to compare car hire. Leeds City Railway Station is England's busiest outside of London, and the city also boasts an efficient bus network.

Car Hire Leeds

Car rental in Leeds can easily be obtained at Leeds City Station, Leeds-Bradford International Airport, and a myriad of other locations. A national organisation called WhizzGo charges its members a modest annual membership fee to take advantage of its pay by the hour car rental service throughout Leeds.

Driving

The City Centre Loop is the main one-way travel system through Leeds city centre. The major tourist attractions, car parks, and other important Leeds landmarks are all clearly signed throughout the City Centre Loop. Many parking zones may be restricted to Leeds residents, but parking places are nonetheless fairly easy to find in Leeds. The M1 and M62 motorways meet on the south side of Leeds.

Things To See and Do

Leeds lies about three and a half hours north of London and less than two and a half hours south of Scotland, but motorists can also drive a rental vehicle to several other places far closer to the city. Bustling Manchester and the Victorian town of Todmorden both lie less than an hour from Leeds. Yorkshire's historic capital, York, is under 30 minutes away.

Best Time To Visit

The typical English climate of Leeds is often influenced by the nearby Pennines mountain range and the Atlantic Ocean. Leeds experiences more sunshine and less rain than many other English cities, especially during its warmest months between May and September. Spring is the season when daffodils and snowdrops bloom in Leeds gardens, while November to January is the rainiest and coldest period in the city.
