Hertz in Guildford
Guildford is the county town of Surrey and is a little under 30 miles southwest of London. Its close proximity and easy road and rail links to the capital mean that many people who live there commute every day. It has been a settlement since Saxon times and in AD 978, it became home to one of the country's first Royal Mints. It also has one of the UK's newest cathedrals which was designed by British architect Edward Maufe and built between 1936 and 1961. Visit the cathedral and other points of interest by arranging car rental in Guildford.
As the largest town in Surrey, Guildford has a number of attractions for the visitor. These include an art gallery located in a 17th-century Grade I-listed building in the High Street. The gallery is home to a special collection of paintings of the area and other works by local artists. The Yvonne Arnaud Theatre is where many shows from West End either have trial runs or transfer to after their London residency comes to an end, so it is one of the most highly rated theatres outside of the capital. Rent a car in Guildford and you will also be able to drive down the A3 to Wisley Gardens. These are owned and run by the Royal Horticultural Society and have beautiful year-round displays of flowers, plants and trees.
