City driving is a fun way to get out and about and explore all corners of the city.

Small City Cars

Small cars are ideal in Essex. Both comfortable and easy to drive, a supermini offers day-to-day practicality, its compact size makes it easy to park and it is ideal for nipping in and out of traffic. One of the major attractions of a city car is its fuel-efficiency, and the low running costs ensure that you save money. Choose a smart Toyota Aygo whose reduced size and weight makes it lighter and more economical to drive, or a Peugeot 107 for a stylish little city car with a fantastic fuel consumption. The Hyundai i10 is an excellent small car with light steering and good visibility that makes it easy to park, whilst the Ford Fiesta hatchback is a classic small car that combines style, efficiency and practicality. Some parts of the city are easier to explore on foot, but your rental a car will be very useful for trips out of town, or as a starting point for a tour of the rest of the country with our one-way rental services.

Luxury Small Cars

For a premium small car, an Audi A1 is a smart supermini that looks great driving around town, as does the luxurious BMW1 series, a rear drive subcompact city car with a strong performance and economical on the road. For an affordable open-top driving experience in Essex, the stylish Peugeot 206 Cabriolet is a handsome convertible supermini.

Manual City Cars or Automatic City Cars

The constant stopping and starting can be tiring for drivers operating a manual car and many city drivers opt for an automatic transmission. Choose an automatic 3 door Chevrolet Aveo, a Ford Focus Automatic hatchback or a 5 door Hyundai Getz for a reliable small car. If you prefer the feeling of control that a manual transmission gives you, a manual Chevrolet Astra, a compact manual 3 door Kia Picanto or a stylish manual Peugeot 107 are excellent rental choices.

Larger Cars for City Driving

For a larger city car, choose a practical yet cheap to run mid-size family car such as the Skoda Octavia or the Ford Fusion tdi. For travelling with larger groups of 7 or more passengers, a 7 or 8 seater MPV such as the Audi Q7 or the Ford Galaxy tdi is a great way to get around, whilst a flexible 7 seater Toyota Verso 5+2 makes an ideal large family car. For 8 passengers, a Mercedes Viano 8 Seater is an excellent minivan that provides safety and comfort, as well as plenty of style.
