Discount car hire is a large international player in the worldwide car hire market. They don’t quite offer a branch at Bristol Airport (most likely because such a branch would be expensive and wouldn’t enable them to keep their prices low) but they do offer the airport as a pickup location when they come to book – the only problem is that the nearest drop off location at the end of your trip is in Bristol itself (referred to by Discount as ‘Bristol downtown’). However, they will offer good deals on compact and economy cars; their smallest class consists of Fiat Puntos, Renault Clios, Toytota Yarises and VW Polos.

One of the more unique points about Discount car hire however is that they offer a very large range of specialist vehicle if you’re willing to pay the price for them. If you have a big family or pets, then you may be on the lookout for a people carrier or an estate car; Discount can offer 4 different types of people carrier and 3 different types of estate cars. Discount will also hire out their Mercedes-Benz CL500 – a hugely expensive, high performance car that only someone on a high 6 figure salary would ever hope to buy, plus a Mercedes-Benz CLS350 a BMW 7 Series and more.

They also offer a wide range of BMWs, Mercedes-Benzs along with Jaguar, Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin sports cars. An extremely large range of 4x4s is also offered, along with plenty of vans and minibuses. As always, these cars will be limited in stock and not available at every branch so it is important to ring Discount at Bristol ahead of your trip to see if they have your desired car in stock – if not, they may well be able to drive it in from another branch for you.
