Our Vehicles For Rent In East London

We have an impressive fleet of quality vehicles available, starting from the small economical vehicles in our Mini class, such as the Toyota Aygo, or the equivalent from another manufacturer. The Toyota Aygo is a really practical car for the city side of East London, since its small size allows it to squeeze through the traffic jams and sharp turns that you will find in the E1, E2 and E3 postcodes of East London (Tower Hamlets). The Economy and Compact rental groups consist of vehicles similar in size to the Vauxhall Corsa and Ford Focus respectively. The Skoda Octavia and the Vauxhall Insignia size of vehicle fall within the Intermediate and Standard group and offer space and comfort for those wanting to drive further out of the city into the more leafy suburbs of Chingford, Woodford Green and Snaresbrook – or maybe to jump on the A13 or A127 to explore the neighboring Essex county. Larger groups are catered for by a range of people carrier models, such as the SEAT Alhambra and Vauxhall Zafira Tourer, both of which can carry seven passengers. For even larger families or bigger groups, our minibuses are able to carry up to nine people. Enterprise Rent-A-Car also offers the Mercedes C-Class, E-Class and the S350 model of vehicles in their Premium group, and the Toyota Rav 4, Volvo XC60 or Range Rover Sport in the SUV group of cars. Commercial vehicles available include the Renault Kangoo, Mercedes Sprinter and Luton van, with or without a tail lift.
