Car rental fleet in the UK
When it comes to hiring a vehicle in the United Kingdom, having the right car for your needs matters. If you’re planning a short inter-state city-holiday you might need a car that is compact and easy to park — and well suited to zipping around the city. On the other hand if you’re planning a road trip exploring the countryside, you might need a more spacious SUV.
VroomVroomVroom only works with well-respected rental car providers such as Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Europcar, Hertz, National, Sixt, and Thrifty, and we search their vast car fleets to make sure you receive a quality vehicle at a competitive price.

Mini Cars
Citroen C1, Fiat 500, Kia Picanto, and Toyota Aygo.
Well suited to solo travellers, couples, and those driving around the inner city, these are great of the gas and easy to park.
Economy/Compact Cars
Kia Ceed, Ford Focus, Peugeot 308, and Vauxhall Corsa.
Although categorised separately, economy and compact vehicles share many of the same traits. Great on fuel, these cars are a good option for anyone needing a car on a budget.
Intermediate Cars
Citroen Picasso, Kia XCeed, Mercedes CLA, and Skoda Octavia.
Great for those after more room than what a compact car can offer, but still looking to travel on a budget, intermediate vehicles tend to be more affordable than their fullsize counterparts.
Standard/Full size Cars
BMW 3 Series, Ford Focus, MG HS, Peugeot 408, and Vauxhall Insignia.
Standard and full size vehicles — often the more spacious sedan model of their intermediate counterparts — are a popular choice among travellers due to their versatility and dependability.
Compact SUVs & Wagons
Kia Ceed SW, Nissan Juke, Peugeot 308 SW, and Renault Captur.
Compact SUVs and wagons are a great option for inner-city driving, providing the elevation of a fullsize model without the bulkiness.
Intermediate SUVs & Wagons
Kia XCeed SW, Mazda MX30, Nissan Qashqai, and Peugeot 3008.
With a little more space than a compact SUV but smaller than a fullsize model, intermediate SUVs and wagons make for a happy medium, ideal for all kinds of driving.
Fullsize SUVs & Wagons

Enjoy maximum space on the road with a fullsize SUV or wagon. Ideal for family trips, the fullsize models offer extra room for legs and luggage.
