Hiring a car in Surrey or travelling to Surrey - where should you go?

The beautiful rolling countryside of the Surrey Hills, towns packed full of high street and designer stores like Kingston upon Thames, or river side villages such as Thames Ditton?

Designated an “Area of Outstanding Beauty” in 1958, the Surrey Hills stretch from the pretty village of Oxted in the east to Farnham via the North Downs, in the west, and are perfect for summer or winter walks and picnics, cycling, exploring the wildlife and discovering bustling market towns.

How about visiting Reigate, a delightful historic market town with its castle ruins and caves (set open days), two windmills, boutique shops and fabulous Reigate Priory Park where young children can enjoy the adventure playground, with tennis courts, “hidden” cafe and the museum available for all visitors?  Just 15 minutes away by hire car is the town of Dorking in Mole Valley, great for antique hunting and from which to park for a walk along National Trust owned Box Hill.

Surrey is one of the Home Counties and consists of eleven boroughs which border Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire and Greater London, and as many of the county’s towns and villages are about 30-60 minutes of central London, staying in Surrey is a great base to explore the city.  Prosperous Surrey boasts the highest proportion of millionaires in the United Kingdom with the highest cost of living. It is where companies such as Canon, Toyota and Procter & Gamble have their company headquarters.

Car hire in Surrey is simple and there are plenty of collection points to choose from.
