Situated in the very heart of England, Leicester is one of the leading tourist destinations in the Midlands with a growing number of attractions catering for young and old alike. Take a stroll down the cobbled streets of the Old Town, an area steeped in medieval history where you can also discover the ruins of the city’s original fortifications at Castle Gardens, an oasis of calm on the banks of the River Soar. Leicester has a great variety of attractions with much of the emphasis on history, culture and family entertainment. Top of the list for most visitors is the excellent King Richard III Visitor Centre, a beautifully-designed 21st-century tourist sight set around the man who ruled England from 1483-85. Standing on the site where the king was buried over 500 years ago, the centre charts his life and explains the events that led to his hasty burial. Just two miles north of Leicester you'll find the National Space Centre, one of the area's top attractions with a museum and educational centre covering the themes of space science and astronomy. With a car hire in Leicester you can also explore the stunning Leicestershire countryside where a wide range of other attractions await, such as Twycross Zoo (one of the best in the Midlands), Bradgate House (once home to Lady Jane Grey who was Queen of England for just nine days) and the site of the famous Battle of Bosworth where King Richard III lost his life.

" It's simple to book and the prices are lower than list price from the end supplier. It's possible you could get similar deals by shopping around and haggling with direct suppliers but why bother when this service achieves the same saving much more quickly and easily. I would also recommend becoming a member as I have made further savings this way. "
" Great team in the Leicester city office. Given the challenges caused by the pandemic, they have always been able to provide cars in working order or promptly resolve any issues such as prompt replacement and upgraded vehicles "

" A goiod car to drive, reasonably cheap, no staff to check car back in on a Saturday. "
" I was told the car was parked nearby and full of fuel - it wasn't full of fuel. No-one from Avis around when I returned the car (on a Saturday). I would reccomend Avis, just not Avis EMA. "

" In short, very poor. Someone should remind Europcar that they do have competition! "
" I oredered a Corsa - yet was given an Astra! Too big, and not a great car. The passernger side rear door was badly scratched, and there were many marks on the paintwork (which Eyropcar would not type on the paperwork). The drop off was outside the Europcar compound and the Europcar phone system would not allow me to speak to a person in the Leicester office. I won't use Europcar again "

" I was shocked to have to pay 40 pounds on top of the hire fee because I was not returning the car to the same place it was hired from. As Hertz is a country wide company I feel this was excessive. I will not be using this company again when I need to hire a car which I do regularly as I live in France. . "
" Very competitive rates !!!!...Excellent service "
" upgraded car !! FOC "
" Very easy website to use, with lots of options. "
