Driving tips in Leicester

Purple squiggle

Know your EV

If you book an electric Leicester car hire, you’ll need to know places to charge. Many electric cars will direct you to charging points as part of the in-car maps, although you can also check out apps like Zapmap.

Use live maps

Most modern cars have internet mapping built in, but your passenger can download a live mapping system like Google Maps or Wayz to help navigate the best routes around Leicester.

Motorways and A-roads

The M1 motorway runs up the west side of Leicester, taking drivers north and south. Fast A-roads shoot out of the city centre to get you to other nearby destinations, but you can expect typical city snarl-ups at peak times within the city itself.

Frequently asked questions in Leicester

What do I need to book a car on Turo?

To book a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in the UK and Australia, 23 years old or older in Canada, have a valid driver’s license, and get approved to drive on Turo. When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s license and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for every future road trip, business trip, and family vacation!

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to book a car on Turo.

What protection plan options are available on Turo?

When booking a car on Turo, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that’s right for you.

Is third-party auto liability insurance provided for trips on Turo?

Turo has arranged for third-party auto liability policy to be provided by ERS (Syndicate 218 at Lloyd’s) managed by IQUW Syndicate Management Limited, arranged via Turo’s broker, Lockton Companies LLP — you get unlimited coverage for bodily injury or death to others while coverage for motor third-party property damage is up to £20,000,000.**

How do I get discounts on cars in Leicester?

On your Account page, make sure you’ve checked the box to receive email notifications, and enable push notifications from the Turo app in your phone settings — we’ll send you occasional promo codes, discounts, and deals on rental cars!

Are there discounts on weekly or monthly trips?

Many Turo hosts offer discounted prices for weekly and monthly trips, as well as “early bird” discounts for trips booked a week or more in advance. So, get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips, at least a week in advance.**

See more about promotions & discounts

What types of cars can I book in Leicester?

Browse the widest selection of vehicles for every occasion and budget on Turo. Find an SUV for a family road trip, an economy car for commuting, a pickup truck for some errands, or an exotic sports car for a special night out in Leicester.

How can I drive unlimited miles during my trip to Leicester?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

What payment methods does Turo accept?

Turo accepts most credit cards issued by major financial institutions, including American Express and Discover cards, as well as debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo that are linked to a checking account.

Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile devices are also accepted, but Turo does not accept cash or checks as valid payment methods.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a small cancellation fee.

In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.

What are the cleaning and safety policies on Turo?

Under the enhanced cleaning policy, hosts are required to clean and disinfect their vehicles thoroughly before every trip, so you can feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced cleaning practices, using the latest recommendations compiled from the CDC, EPA, WHO, and vehicle detailing experts, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Is there a fee to add additional drivers to my trip?

There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip (primary driver) can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add authorised drivers before your trip starts, though you can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress with no extra charges.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

Is Turo a rental car company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, Canada, and the UK. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

What types of sports cars, luxury cars, or exotics can I book in Leicester?

Browse a wide range of luxury vehicles for all kinds of occasions and budgets on Turo in Leicester. Use the “Category” filter to search through all available luxury sports cars in your area. You can also use the “Deluxe class” or “Super Deluxe class” filters to browse premium or luxury car models. Or use the “Vehicle makes” filter to find cars from specific luxury brands like Bentley, Porsche, Tesla, Jaguar, Aston Martin, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Range Rover, and more.
