Tips for car hire in Bradford in 2025

Car hire prices in Bradford

Expedia frequently offers excellent car rental deals in Bradford from £36* in 2025. The price of your rental will depend on the model of your car: a mini such as a Toyota Aygo is cheaper than a premium model such as a Mercedes C-Class. The pick-up point of your car can also influence the rental price. Picking your car up from the airport may be cheaper than picking it up in the Bradford city centre.


Finding some of the best deals for cheap car hire in Bradford

To find cheap car hire in Bradford you may want to be flexible with your travel dates. The UK summer is a great time to get to know the industrial heritage of the West Yorkshire city, but it is also one of the busier times of year. You may find deals on rental cars in Bradford by planning your trip outside of the summer months. Taking a leaf out of fellow Expedia users' books and checking the customer recommendations in the search filters can also be a great way to find some of the best options for car hire in Bradford.


Some of the best car hire companies in Bradford

You'll find car rental companies such as Sixt, Enterprise, Alamo and Budget in Bradford and the surrounding area. Some of the best options for car hire companies in Bradford can be found at Leeds Bradford Airport. This means it can be particularly convenient to hire your Bradford rental car upon your arrival at the airport. You may also be able to find a cheap Bradford rental car in neighbouring Leeds, which is just a short bus or train ride away.


Some of the best places to hire a car in Bradford

One of the best ways to hire a car in Bradford is to hire your car from Leeds Bradford airport. There you'll find a fantastic selection of vehicles ranging from compact cars to premium, mini and standard cars. Bradford is also very close to Manchester so if you are flying into Manchester, you can rent a car directly at Manchester Airport.

Advice on car hire in Bradford

For a smooth experience with your vehicle hire in Bradford, you will need to bring your driving licence, ID and DVLA code. Please note that the same rules apply as in the rest of the UK. This means that drivers need to be at least 21 years old and have had their licence for more than a year. If you are a junior or a senior driver, you may need to pay a surcharge to hire a car in Bradford.


One-way and long-term car hire in Bradford

A one-way rental means that you rent your car in one spot and drop it off in another. It can save you plenty of time and money when planning your trip as you don't need to bring your car back to where you originally rented it from. Bradford car rental deals can generally be one-way. This can be a great opportunity to plan elaborate road trips with multi-city stops. Road trips through the Lake District National Park and the Peak District National Park are a great way to get to know the beautiful scenery of Northern England.
