Didcot Guide

Didcot is a town situated just 10 miles south of Oxford in the county of Oxfordshire. Didcot started its growth in the 19th century when the construction of the Great Western Railway from London to the West was underway. Car hire in Didcot is a good way to travel the area during your stay.

The railway link at Didcot is an important connection between North-South and East-West lines. To the North there is Oxford and other destinations, while Bristol and London are to the South, along with the South coast. Once a railway town, local businesses have adapted with the atomic energy organisation.

With car rental in Didcot you can easily visit the Harwell International Business Centre. There are six 325ft-cooling towers here that can be seen from miles away, along with a 650ft chimney and 2,000 megawatt station that is coal-fired. Driving around the area you will notice some eye-catching attractions.

There are some great parks, lakes and gardens in Didcot. Edmonds Park is a large park with good facilities, including three tennis courts. Loyd Recreation Park has a relaxing atmosphere to unwind in, with a pavilion offering views of nature. Ladygrove Lakes is a wildlife area with two fishing lakes surrounded by park.

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?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).
