Hertz Car Rental in Ipswich
You’ll find the city of Ipswich on the east coast of England in the county of Suffolk, just inland from the mouth of the River Orwell. Once a vital port for trade, the waterfront is now mainly an area dedicated to leisure pursuits. If you rent a car in Ipswich you’ll find it’s a long way from a motorway, which means you’ll be using trunk roads to travel further afield. The A12 heads northeast to Lowestoft or south west to Colchester and on towards London, which is 80 miles away. The A14 will take you northwest to the historic city of Bury St Edmunds or east to the port of Felixstowe.
If you have a rental car in Ipswich you can explore the sights of the city easily. There’s quite a variety: the Transport Museum has an interesting collection of cars, vans and buses, while the city’s main church St Mary le Tower dates back to the Middle Ages. Outside the city is the important archaeological site of Sutton Hoo where a complete Saxon longboat was discovered, filled with rare treasures that are now in the British Museum. The visitor centre at the site is nonetheless a fascinating trip. Elsewhere look out for the lively arts, music and dance scene – and of course, a busy shopping centre that serves a wide rural area.
