Car Hire Rochester

The city of Rochester sits on the river Medway and in fact derives its name from its viability as a crossing point. The Romans saw the importance of Rochester as a crossing point naming the town Durobrivae or 'stronghold by the bridge'. Although evidence of a Roman fort has not yet been discovered by archaeologists, the 'stronghold by the bridge' is definitely applicable. The Medway conurbation describes an area of towns that sit between the Thames estuary and the river Medway. For those who love touring the countryside and coastal areas of England a Budget hire car is the perfect way to see these towns and villages and this unique stretch of coast.

Car Hire Medway

Rochester is full of history and has brilliant attractions for all of the family. The castle sits on the eastern bank of the Medway and is considered to be one of the best-preserved Norman castles of its type in Britain. Visitors will be fascinated by the amazing history of the castle full of sieges and battles that the enthusiast will greatly enjoy. There are many castles in the region that were created for the protection of the naval dockyards in Chatham; once again history buffs will be enthralled. If you feel touring these sites may be too much for one driver to handle, you may want to enquire about adding another driver to your Budget package to share some of the workload.

Car Rental Rochester and Medway

Rochester also has an outstanding cathedral that is only beaten by neighbouring Canterbury as the oldest bishopric in Britain. Like the castle, the cathedral is considered by many to be one of the finest Norman cathedrals in the country even though it suffered terribly during the resolution of the monasteries. Rochester, in such close proximity to London, only thirty miles away, makes a perfect destination for business travellers to do business in the Southeast of England. Budget has great deals for business travellers and corporate rates that make car hire an ideal travelling solution.
