Before Hemel Hempstead became one of London's 'new towns' it was a small settlement with a great deal of history. The 'Old Town' as it is now known has some beautiful examples of medieval streets and cottages. The decision to make this sleepy little town one of the London New Towns in the post war era was due to its preferential position between London and the Midlands. This position will make your use of a hire car efficiently simple, with two major motorways within short driving distance. The M25 lies close to the south of the town while the M1 runs right past the east of the town. Both of these roads mean transport links to the rest of the country are excellent; the perfect excuse to make use of Budget's car hire packages.

Tourists can also gain much from using a Budget hire car when staying in Hemel Hempstead. Heading out into the glorious Hertfordshire countryside is recommended but there are a number of attractions worthy of note in the surrounding area. A short drive away is the ancient settlement of St Alban's. Its centre houses many fine historic buildings and of course the cathedral that gives the settlement its name. Often called 'the Abbey' and containing many examples of Norman architecture, it is a fascinating day trip for anyone staying in Hemel Hempstead.

Your Budget car will also enable you to travel to the nearby Whipsnade Zoo. It makes a perfect day trip for families. The zoo, which is set in parkland, will fascinate younger visitors with many animals including lions, rhinos and a specially constructed lemur enclosure. The daily shows are especially worthwhile when it is possible to see the sea-lions at their most active or the majestic elephants performing for audiences. Remember however that if you are planning to travel with small children it is now a legal responsibility to ensure they have appropriate seating. Fortunately Budget will be happy to supply you with child seats, just let us know your requirements when booking your hire car.
