Search for the best car hire deals in Bradford

Post-industrial Bradford is full of surprises: beyond the imposing mills and Victorian terraces you'll find a cosmopolitan centre with a thriving arts scene. And when you hire a car, Bradford becomes a gateway to the Pennines, with the Yorkshire Dales to the north and the Peak District to the south.

Fast facts about hiring a car from Bradford

Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) is around 13km (8 miles) north east of Bradford city centre. There are several car hire operators with offices at the airport. Book in advance and you can bag a cheap deal on Bradford car rental and be away in next to no time.

The airport’s car rental centre is on the corner of Whitehouse Lane and Scotland Lane, next to the long-stay car parks. The centre is the first stop if you hop aboard the free 24-hour shuttle bus from outside the terminal.

It’s straightforward to get to Bradford city centre from the airport, either along the A658 or by a combination of the A658 and the A6176, A6177 and Midland Road. The drive should take around 25 minutes, depending on traffic.

You can also pick up a hire car from the city centre, with booking offices located on the A6177 ring road and to the south of Bradford Interchange train and bus station.

Driving in Bradford city centre

Bradford has easy road links to Manchester, Leeds and the Pennine hills. The A1677 ring road is largely a single-carriageway route but the various spoke roads to the city centre keep traffic moving. The M606 motorway connects Bradford with the M62, the north of England’s main east-to-west artery.

Large sections of the city centre, including the areas around Ivegate, Kirkgate and Hustlergate, have been pedestrianised, so it’s worth checking your route before setting off. It’s also advisable to avoid the narrow, hilly terraced rows, where parked cars and 20mph speed limits can make for slow going.

You shouldn’t struggle to find a pay-and-display car park in Bradford centre, with clusters around Bradford Interchange, Forster Square railway station and the National Science and Media Museum. On-street parking is also in plentiful supply. Parking on North Parade, Rawson Road, Godwin Street and Darley Street is free of charge on Sundays.

Recommended day trips from Birmingham

Haworth and Brontë Parsonage Museum

Driving time: 25 minutes

Quaint, cobbled Haworth is not just a lovely village on the moors – it’s a place of pilgrimage for literature fans. This is Brontë country, home of the legendary writing sisters, who lived and worked in the parsonage on Church Street. The building has been lovingly restored and preserved as a museum dedicated to Anne, Charlotte and Emily. Explore the house and village before heading off in search of the landscape that inspired Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and Villette. If you park your car in Keighley, you can arrive at Haworth – and explore the rest of the pretty Worth Valley – on a heritage steam train.

Malham Cove

Driving time: 55 minutes

Make the most of the great outdoors with a fascinating walk around Malham Cove, one of the natural wonders of the Yorkshire Dales. Formed by glacial melt at the end of the Ice Age, the iconic 70m-high (230ft) curving cliff and limestone pavement draws hikers and rock-climbers from far and wide. A walk from charming Malham village takes in the cove, before continuing to Malham Tarn, Gordale Scar ravine and Janet’s Foss waterfall. When you’ve worked up an appetite, head down to the market town of Settle for a lunch or dinner stop, making sure to check out the famous Gallery on the Green – a red telephone box turned into an art exhibition.

Leeds Royal Armouries Museum

Driving time: 25 minutes

Take a trip back in time at the UK’s national collection of arms and armour in this modern museum on Leeds Dock. Its five gallery-packed floors document the history of combat around the world, through exhibits ranging from spears to crossbows, and from swords to firearms. Leeds city centre, with its grand civic buildings and upscale shopping arcades, is just a short walk away.
