Birmingham South - Sparkhill Guide

Guide

Sparkhill is located at the heart of three places, Springfield, Hall Green, and Sparkbrook, in the southern part of Birmingham. It is named after a small stream flowing from Moseley and joining with the River Cole at Small Heath.

The name of the hill beside the stream was blended accordingly with the name of the stream, Sparkbrook, what we call Sparkhill today. Most parts of the stream are situated underground, thus, the natural beauty and the scenic attractions can be predicted easily. Tourists often opt for a hire car to visit the uncountable number of sights and the picturesque landscapes adjoining Sparkhill.

Enjoy a visit to the Cherry Arbour, a place where the development of the area had first started. You will see various buildings with different designs, architecture and patterns. To see more of these style buildings go to Stony Lane or Durham Road where there are palatial houses, constructed for the wealthy class in the 19th century. The Sparkhill Library, formerly the Yardley District Council is worth a visit. It tells the story of the older constructions of the area.

Sparkhill is a place filled with a variety of culture, as immigrants from many countries had settled over here. The graveyard of St. John's Church possesses graves of the people of the nearby BSA factory, who died in World War I. A memorial to them was constructed, and visitors are permitted inside to pay their respects. Relax with a refreshing drink at the Mermaid Inn, constructed in the 1600's, this restaurant and bar was renovated by Holland W. Hobbiss, a local sculptor, after a blazing fire.

There's so much to see and do in Sparkhill that if you decide to hire a vehicle you will be able to tour the area in your own time and even travel further afield to view other sites of interest in the surrounding landscapes, which public transport will not get you to.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?
