Since it was awarded city status during the Queen's Jubilee, Chelmsford has become an even more desirable location for a short break. Not only is there an abundance of activities to keep you busy, you're also only a 35 minute drive away from London; hire a car in Chelmsford and enjoy a day in the capital as well as exploring the exceptional Essex county city. A short drive or walk from the city centre, you'll find one of our branches on Robjohns Road - a prime location for starting your trip the right way: behind the wheel and taking in the views.
Chelmer Park is a great place to get away from the buzz of city life and just relax with nature; with a play area for the kids and a range of courts and pitches to enjoy a spot of tennis or football, it's a prime outdoor activity location. Hiring a car in Chelmsford lets you enjoy the outdoors before nipping back into the city for some cultural experiences like Chelmsford Cathedral, a colourful jewel at the heart of Chelmsford. Continue exploring Chelmsford's heritage by stopping at Rayleigh Mount, a haven for the nearby wildlife delivering truly stunning views.
Rent a car in Chelmsford to make sure you see the interesting local history of the city at the Chelmsford Museum, a particular favourite for history fanatics. In keeping with the engaging exhibits of the museum, Hylands House and Estate is a fantastic way to bring history alive. After all that, why not take a trip to see one of the best zoos in Europe?
