Car and Van Rental Bury St Edmunds

What types of vehicles can you hire?

Cars

One car rarely suits everyone that requires a hire vehicle - what a family of 5 need for their holiday will be completely different to a single person on a business trip! That’s why our fleet of vehicles available for car hire in Bury St Edmunds is vast. 

We have manuals and automatics in varying sizes from a range of world-leading manufacturers, from the nippy Kia Picanto to the spacious Hyundai Tucson. We have MPVs available too, for when there are a few of you. All have been chosen for their excellent fuel efficiency as well as reliable performance, so you can get on with your journey with confidence. 

Vans 

Whether you’re moving all your worldly belongings to a new home, or simply picking up a few bits for the garden, we have vans of various sizes that are up to the job. From compact vans such as the Ford Transit Connect, to Volkswagen Crafters and large Luton vans with tail lifts, Rent Direct has a fleet of vans to choose from that are made by manufacturers known for their outstanding commercial vehicles.
