Watford is in the county of Hertfordshire, on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, 17 miles from London. Humans first settled in the area centuries ago. However, it was the railway that came to the town in 1837, linking it to London and Birmingham, which led to its development as a regional centre for the Home Counties. Today, J D Wetherspoon, Camelot Group and Mothercare all have headquarters in Watford. Harlequin Shopping Centre opened in the town in 1992, offering 140 new shops. Recently it changed its name to Intu Watford and is still a focal point for shoppers. On the nearby High Street, there are bars and restaurants catering to every taste. The town has many parks and green spaces, several museums and theatres, and of course, Watford F.C., where Elton John still holds honorary life presidency of the club. It is also close to Leavesden Film Studios, where some of the Harry Potter films were made. Concerts by premier music industry stars take place at the Colosseum entertainment complex. The Enterprise Rent-A-Car site is a mile outside the town on the Cassio Road and is easily accessible by public transport or by taking up Enterprise’s pick-up offer.
Watford is close to both the M1 and M25 motorways, and it doesn't take long to drive into central London. Whether you are exploring locally, perhaps by visiting nearby St Albans, or going further afield, a hire car from Enterprise lets you set the timetable and removes your reliance on public transport. Look on the website for the best deals for car and van hire and book early to make sure you get the vehicle you want at a price to suit your pocket.
Enterprise understands the reasons why their customers hire vans, so they make sure they have a great range of vans from market leaders to choose from. Whether you want to hire a small commercial runabout for a day or two or are looking for a longer lease, Enterprise will meet your requirements. If you need a larger vehicle to do a heavy or large removal job, Luton vans are available at very reasonable prices. Learn more about Enterprise van hire.
Enterprise takes great care of its fleet of cars, and they can provide all types of vehicle, from small economical runabouts through to sporty SUVs and people carriers. If you have a special occasion coming up, perhaps a dinner at that special restaurant or a weekend away at a country house hotel, why not travel in style and hire a car from Enterprise’s premier range.
Its proximity to the motorway network makes Watford a great place to travel from. With three railways stations in the town, it's also easy to get to. The West Coast Mainline runs through Watford from Euston up to the North West and on to Scotland. Watford is the last stop on the Metropolitan Line of the London Underground and is also served by a comprehensive bus service. Visitors should have no trouble parking as there are nine car parks in the town, the largest of which is Gade, with over 600 spaces.
