Car Hire

Hiring a car is a great way to explore Essex independently. Take a drive off the beaten track and explore rural and secluded locations, with rolling countryside.

With 350 miles of coastline and almost 70% of the county being classified as rural, a car will give you the freedom to visit remote beaches, quaint villages and explore the wild side of the coast, just like a local.

If you’re looking to hire a car, Rhino Car Hire compare prices from all car hire agents to give you the best possible rate. Visit the website here to choose your perfect car for exploring the sights of Essex.

Here are some suggestions of places to visit by car:

RSPB nature reserve, Wallasea Island, the UK’s largest coastal wetland restoration project and a nature reserve for rare wildlife on the Crouch and Roach estuaries is well worth a visit for wildlife lovers.

Essex’s picturesque villages, with historical architecture and charm are a pleasure to explore and easily reachable by car. Some of our favourites include Finchingfield, one of the most photographed villages in England, Thaxted, Castle Hedingham, famous for its magnificent castle, or Coggeshall with its selection of beautiful listed buildings.

Tollesbury, known for its exportation of oysters and its nature reserve, allows you to experience the wild side of the coast or drive to Dedham Vale, an Area of National Beauty, for peace, quiet and relaxing strolls by the River Stour.
