Hiring a car at Braintree

Taking advantage of a great, hassle-free deal on car hire from Enterprise Braintree is perfect for those wanting to explore this area of England. Braintree is a market town in the English County of Essex, 10 miles from Chelmsford to the east, 15 miles west of Colchester and 46 miles from Central London. The town is bypassed by the A120, which acts as the local ring road. This area of Essex is rural, and in fact, the town grew in the 19th century on the prosperity created by agriculture and silk manufacturing; a story chronicled in the John Ray Museum in the town. Two markets each week are held in Market Square outside the town hall and along Bank Street and the pedestrianized High Street. Shopping in the town is supplemented by a nearby retail village with 90 shops, many selling cut-price designer goods. Enterprise Rent-A-Car is situated at Galleys Corner on the Cressing Road, two miles from the centre of the town. Enterprise can arrange to collect you; alternatively, Braintree has a good bus service operated by First Essex and one or two other providers, and the 38A from stand A in the Bus Park will transport you to the Enterprise site in eight minutes.
