Rental cars in Leeds, UK
There’s an irresistible edginess to Leeds, something it’s hung on to throughout its reinvention from a Victorian mill town to something altogether more urban cool.
Rent a car from a local Leeds host on Turo, and not only will you help them with their small West Yorkshire business, but you’ll also benefit from a wide choice of cars and flexibility.
Instead of traditional car hire in Leeds, try peer-to-peer car sharing, where you choose a car from a local Leeds host.
Choose a hatchback or an estate – or anything else you have in mind – and collect it and return it from a Leeds location that suits you, whether that’s Leeds Bradford Airport, Leeds City Centre or elsewhere around the city.
So, what’ll it be? A nifty little EV or a powerful supercar? A seven-seater for the kids or a fancy two-seater convertible? On Turo, you’ll find everything from budget runarounds to dream cars. The choice is yours.
Sometimes you need something to get you from A to B in the most efficient way possible. Third-party protection and mileage are always included when you book a car on Turo, so there are no unexpected charges.

Leeds is super central. It’s pretty much equidistant between London and Edinburgh and almost midway between the east and west coasts. It’s an excellent base to discover Yorkshire from (once you’re done with your Leeds city centre explorations), whether you’re looking for hiking in the Yorkshire Dales or history-hunting in York and Harrogate.
Book the perfect carA splendid Victorian spa town, Harrogate has a reputation for loveliness. Drive there from Leeds in 45 minutes, and you can be sipping a cuppa and nibbling sweet treats in the tearooms before you know it.
An extraordinary medieval city (and home of famous chocolate-making families, Rowntree and Terry), York is impressive at every turn, but especially so when you catch sight of York Minster, considered one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world.
Head a couple of hours north of Leeds and spend some time in Whitby. It’s overlooked by the formidably atmospheric ruins of Whitby Abbey that inspired Dracula, but the rest of Whitby is all wholesome bucket-and-spade fun.
