It is worth noting there are a number of car rental companies in or near Bristol Airport.

Somerset boasts many historic treasures, among them wonderful, bustling market towns like Taunton, Bridgewater, Yeovil and Shepton Mallet, which dates back to the time when Britain was occupied by Roman legions. The whole area has produced many interesting archaeological finds, which various local museums display.

Tucked away in a fold of the Mendip Hills, the vibrant little town truly comes to life on market day, when people from the surrounding villages and farms head to their very own “metropolis” to shop, sit in cafes and restaurants to dine and gossip or to sell their goods at the market stalls. It's easy to reach Shepton Mallet as the A37, otherwise known as the Fosseway, passes through the town.

Hiring a car from Sixt at Bristol Airport also offers the chance to visit the cities of Cheddar, Gloucester, Wells and the gorgeous Quantock Hills. For a traditional seaside resort it's hard to beat the old-world charm of Weston-Super-Mare, beautifully situated at Weston Bay. Miles of sandy beaches, donkey rides, a 40-meter high Big Wheel, exciting rides on the Grand Pier and amazing views over the Channel are all part and parcel of a grand day out at Weston-Super-Mare.

Glastonbury is steeped in mystery and legends; there are some who believe it is King Arthur's final resting place and therefore the location of the mythical Avalon. Others take it to be a place of worship for druids throughout the ages. For most people it is, however, simply the backdrop to Britain's most popular music festival. Every year thousands of visitors roam the area to discover, if the myths and legends are true – and every year thousands of people come to a certain field where their favourite modern-day heroes perform music, cabaret, dance and theater on several different stages. Some things never change though: getting about by public transport in the area is just as cumbersome as it must have been in King Arthur's day during the 6th century!

A rental car from Sixt at Bristol Airport offers all the freedom and flexibility an exploration of historic gems in rural Britain requires. All rentals include unlimited free mileage in their fee. The Chevrolet Spark is a popular choice as is Smart Fortwo, both are in the small-size car range from Sixt.

The VW Polo can seat up to 5 passengers and features air conditioning and manual transmission.

It is also possible to book GPS systems at the same time as making the car rental reservations. Other vehicle choices include the Chevrolet Cruze, the VW Golf estate and the Skoda Fabia automatic. Sixt Bristol can also supply vans and people carriers. The Ford Transit Minibus can seat up to 15 people, while the VW Sharan can seat 7 people comfortably.
