Birmingham

Birmingham is a city of contrasts: red-brick canal-side warehouses and Victorian factory halls stand alongside sleek glass high-rises, bustling street markets give way to tranquil green spaces, and industrial grit meets creative regeneration along its historic network of canals. To fully explore every neighbourhood—from the curry houses of the Balti Triangle to the artisan studios of Digbeth—a rental car is indispensable.

Cardamar Car Rental offers seamless booking and fast pickup right at Birmingham Airport (BHX) and convenient downtown locations near New Street Station. Our fleet ranges from nimble compacts perfect for navigating the city centre’s narrow streets to spacious SUVs ready for scenic drives through the Cotswolds or adventures into the Peak District. Every rental includes Collision Damage Waiver, Theft Protection, and third-party liability coverage of at least €10 million. Customize your journey with optional GPS navigation, child seats, additional drivers, and toll transponders for the M6 Toll.

Essential Birmingham Itineraries:
- City Centre & Jewellery Quarter Loop: Begin at Victoria Square, cruise down Colmore Row past the Town Hall, then park near the Museum Quarter to explore the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery and the historic Jewellery Quarter.
- Black Country Heritage Trail: Head northwest on the M5 to the Black Country Living Museum—step back into industrial England—then continue to Dudley Canal & Tunnel Trust for a boat trip beneath the old mines.
- Cotswolds Escape: Take the M42 south to Broadway and Bourton-on-the-Water—wander through honey-coloured villages and rolling countryside—before returning via the scenic A44.
- Stratford-upon-Avon & Warwick Castle: Venture southeast on the M40 to Shakespeare’s birthplace, then head on to Warwick Castle for medieval ramparts and falconry displays.
- Peak District Day Trip: Drive north on the A38 toward Lichfield, then weave through Staffordshire Moorlands to Bakewell and Castleton for limestone dales and historic market towns.
