Car hire in Basingstoke

Rent a car in Basingstoke with Europcar

Enjoy affordable and convenient car hire and a seamless start to your trip at Europcar Basingstoke from our rental station two miles outside the town. The journey from the nearest train station takes 10 minutes in a car/taxi, and about 35 minutes on foot. The nearest petrol station is a three minute drive away.

We have a car to suit you, whatever it is you need it for, and wherever you’re travelling to – just around the corner, across the city or even further afield. Choose a small city car to get you from A to B when you need a budget option for a short journey or local sightseeing around Basingstoke – visit Watership Down to see where the famous book was set!

And if you’re heading out of town on a longer journey, hire one of our larger family cars or SUVs to get you there in comfort. Why not head to Brighton for a day of sun, sea and sand?

Our flexible short and long term hire options, affordable pricing, and great choice of vehicles all add up to a great value deal. And for total convenience, you can pick up and drop off at different locations to suit you. What are you waiting for?

Travel safely

As part of our safety programme, all our vehicles are rigorously cleaned with organic disinfectants and we do everything to offer you a contactless experience.

Discover Basingstoke surroundings and beyond with your Europcar rental car

Basingstoke is set in stunning countryside and is close to the North Wessex Downs area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering limitless opportunities for walking, cycling and nature watching. Back in town, if you’re a gin lover, make sure you don’t miss a tour of the Bombay Sapphire Gin Distillery!

But now you’ve got your rental car, maybe you want to take it out for a spin and see what else is nearby? Devon is a favourite holiday destination with its stunning countryside and beautiful beaches, and you can reach the pretty Devon town of Salcombe in a little more than three hours. Offering everything you’d expect from an English seaside town – rows of pastel-coloured houses, sandy coves, ice cream parlours, and boutique ships – you can enjoy a relaxing day or so exploring its charms. And don’t forget to try a traditional Devon cream tea while you’re here!

Prefer city life? A two hour drive will get you to Birmingham, England’s second city, a buzzing metropolis far removed from its historical industrial heritage. Look out for the unique architecture of the Bullring shopping centre, enjoy a lazy lunch or brunch in the historic Jewellery Quarter, or explore the many museums and galleries. You can even take a boat trip along the canal network that runs through the city. But chocolate lovers won’t be happy until they’ve visited the iconic Cadbury World to see how the famous chocolate is made – and of course enjoy a few samples!
