Having become one of the largest airports in the Midlands area, it is small wonder that car hire is of major importance at Birmingham International Airport. Funnelling a half a million fliers through their facilities every month creates a virtual “buyer’s market” for those seeking temporary transportation once they arrive.

The choices of car hire companies range from the large international corporations such as Budget Rent-a-Car, Alamo, Hertz, Expedia, and National Car Rental through regional car hire agencies such as Autorent Europe, and Sixt. You can also find the more local British car hire companies like Practical Car & Van Hire, Fourmotion, and British Car Rental.

The types of cars you can hire to take you from Birmingham International Airport are as varied as your budget and tastes can stand. You can drive away in a small economy coupe or a flashy sports car and just about anything else in between. Pricing for car hire can be as little as £40 for a one-day rental of an economy car from Budget Rent-a-Car (with a two-day rental only raising the fee up to £56) to as much as £171 for a one-day excursion in a luxury automobile from Hirecars or CARHIRE3000. While a few of the international car hire companies like Alamo or National provide the luxury option, it is mostly the regional and local car hire agencies that make these models available.

The quickest way to locate the best car hire deal is to take advantage of the car rental price comparison websites online. With the click of a few buttons you can find exactly what you will need to make your drive through the Midlands both pleasurable and economical.
