Hiring a car in Solihull

Solihull has plenty of historic landmarks, cultural experiences and serene countryside but if you hire a car from the town centre, you can also visit many more West Midlands gems, from National Trust manors to Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens.

Driving in Solihull

Driving in Solihull is relatively straightforward. The city is very driver-friendly with easy access to the surrounding motorways and A-roads. However, the A34 around Stratford Road and the junctions joining the M42 are known to get congested during peak hours, so be sure to check live traffic updates before setting off.

Take the M42 and M6 to reach Birmingham’s canals in just under 30 minutes or stay on the motorway to head north for Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield, which are all around two hours’ drive from Solihull.

Want to explore the town on foot or retire to your hotel for the night? There are plenty of places to leave your wheels in Solihull. Both the Touchwood and John Lewis car parks offer 24-hour service at reasonable rates near the town centre, while Church Hill Car Park is another good option for short or long stays.

If you’re planning to nip around the area, a compact car hire will be your best bet on the busy local roads. For longer trips, an SUV can be a more comfortable option.
