Car Hire Reviews Ashford

  • “The pick-up was easy, it took 5 minutes from arriving at the desk to driving out the car, and the return took even less time.”
    Diane T

Where to go

Maintaining its roots as a market town, but also embracing other trends, Ashford has a good mix of the old and new. From the Ashford Green Corridor to the Heritage Trail to the Ashford Designer Outlet and historic cottages, you’ll discover all sorts of things with your hire car in the town.

Nearby Ashford

Being based in Ashford opens up lots of possibilities for exploring places nearby. One of the first on your list, just over 20-minutes’ drive away should be the port town of Folkestone, which looks out over the English Channel with Europe beyond. Alternatively, make the half-an-hour journey to Canterbury to see the impressive cathedral.

Longer drives

The lure of England’s capital is hard to resist and at an hour-and-a-half away by hire car you’ll be shopping on Oxford Street in London before you know it. Take advantage of the wide selection of free museums, perhaps see a play in the West End and soak up the iconic sights.

Eating and drinking

You can choose from a number of restaurants in Ashford serving several different types of cuisine, but it’s worth trying some local dishes during your stay. Oysters are among the specialities of Kent and angels on horseback, which see bacon cooked with the oysters and served atop a piece of toast, are truly delicious.

Things to do

Ashford Borough Museum is the perfect place to find out more about the history of the area. From graffiti going back centuries to exhibits focusing on the railway, it’s an interesting mix that is well-displayed. Kids will love the ticket office and model trains that speed about.

Sightseeing

Among the sights you can expect to see in Ashford are the restored Church of St Mary the Virgin and Middle Row, where buildings from various periods of history sit together to make a pretty picture. Some date back to Georgian times, while others are Jacobean and show just how pretty traditional construction techniques were.
