Van Hire Coventry

Coventry is a large city in central England, and a notable place of interest for anyone with a van hire. It lies in the west midlands county, and is the second largest city in the English midlands.

There are many notable attractions when visiting Coventry. Since you’re in a van hire from Thrifty Car Rental, let’s start with automotive attractions, and Coventry has one of the finest in England. The Coventry Transport Museum has a sizable collection of historic British-made road vehicles, the largest in the world, and perhaps even more notable, features exhibitions of previous world record speed holders the Thrust2 and Thrust SSC. The museum also features a unique and striking arch at its entrance. It is also offers free admission, giving you more gas money for your van hire, and more stops to hit in Coventry.

Next on that van hire from Thrifty Car Rental stop list should be Coventry Cathedral, one of the newest cathedrals in England, built in the 1960’s over the site of the former cathedral St. Michael’s Cathedral, which was largely destroyed during World War 2. The original spire of St. Michael’s Cathedral remains though, and while perhaps at visual odds with the newly built cathedral, is a proud symbol of human perseverance and spirit.

Continuing the theme of modernism on this van hire outing, your next stop could include Ricoh Arena, a modern style arena built in 2005 that has already played host to numerous notable concerts, including Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams, and is the home of the local football club Coventry City F.C.

There are many museums, sporting attractions, entertainment outlets, fine restaurants, and nightlife hotspots. Coventry also has two notable universities, including the highly acclaimed University of Warwick.
