With car rental in Vermont, you’ve got nearly 10,000 square miles of stunning country to explore – ideal road-trip territory!

The vast state of Vermont is a landlocked area which, although small in population, is large in land space – perfect for a road trip. Vermont borders Massachusetts to the south, New Hampshire to the east, New York to the west and the largely French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec to the north. Vermont is famous for being the biggest producer of maple syrup within the United States, making it ideal for sweet tooths.

The main road through Vermont is US route 5, which runs south to north from the eastern point of Vermont. Meandering through the mountains, the route takes in popular tourist destinations such as Smugglers Notch, Mount Snow and Killington. Vermont car hire enables you to travel freely around these destinations at your own convenience.

Cheap car hire in Vermont is widely available. Be sure to book in advance to collect your hire car at the destination airport in Vermont. Depending upon the area of the state you wish to visit, you may wish to upgrade to 4x4 car rental in Vermont to cope with the harsh mountain roads.

Burlington is by far the largest of Vermont’s nine cities, but each one is separated by wilderness and attractions galore...

It doesn’t matter when you visit, Vermont always has a pretty face, whether it’s basking in the summer sun or wearing its dramatic autumn make up. Rent a car in Vermont and you can enjoy a tour of some of its best features.

In northern Vermont you’ll find places such as Isle La Motte – an hour’s drive north of Burlington. Here you’ll see a stunning island with a shrine dedicated to early European settlers overlooking Lake Champlain. Take a 90-minute drive east of Burlington and you’ll find St Johnsbury – home to the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium.

The cherry on top of central Vermont is becoming one of the state’s most popular tourist attractions – the Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream factory. It takes 30 minutes by road from Burlington to reach the Waterbury factory, but you’ll be well rewarded with fascinating frosty facts and dollops of delicious ice cream.

History and culture are the main attractions in southern Vermont. Here you’ll find the Bennington Museum and the Southern Vermont Arts Center. This is also a great region to be in if you like walking. Southern Vermont is home to some splendid mountain and forest trails.

Of course, it’s possible to overlook Vermont’s capital when you’re driving around, but Burlington has plenty of attractions. Take a boat trip on Lake Champlain, check out the Aquarium and Science Centre, enjoy a tipple at the old Magic Hat Brewery, or simply wander around the city’s superb shopping arcades.
