If you are looking for a cheap break away with your friends in the UK, hiring a car and taking a tent and heading to the countryside can offer a great escape from the norm, especially if you have exams looming and looking for some relaxation!

If no-one has a car then you will need to hire one and when you’re a student every penny you can save helps, so finding cheap car rentals that’s aimed specifically at people like you can be a real bonus.

For a long time, many companies have avoided hiring cars out to younger drivers believing them to be less responsible on the road. This has affected many students over the years and made it harder to
find a car to hire when required.

All this has changed in recent years however, and there are a number of companies now who now offer cheap car hire to students today, although most will want you to meet a variety of criteria such as
being over a specific age, and driving for at least a certain number of years.

As well as having to meet the driving requirements, you’ll also need to take along certain documentation when you make your booking and pick up your vehicle. A current student ID will be required to prove you’re a student as well as obviously your driving license, and often a credit card in your name when you make your booking.

If you study in Scotland then why not try a weekend away camping in Loch Lomond. If you study in North England then you are only a hour or so’s drive from the lake district and if you study in London, then drive down to the coast and explore beautiful English seaside.

So what are you waiting for! Grab your rucksack and tent and head to the country!
