If you live in Northampton or you're studying there, there are plenty of reasons why you might need to hire a car or van. Moving student accommodation is easy work in one of our medium vans, or one of our larger models if you have a lot of stuff, and no need for a special licence. 

Maybe you need to make a trip to Ikea in Milton Keynes to pick up some furniture, or you're moving house and want to do it yourself? You'll find the Enterprise car hire branch conveniently located to the north of the town on St Andrew's road. And if you can't get to our branch easily, we can even come and pick you up.

Visiting Northampton and the Area

Northampton is a well-appointed town with good shops and restaurants, and of course the racecourse for sporting fans. When you just want a change of scenery or fancy a weekend away, either as a group or a couple, the Cotswolds are just over an hour away and perfect for a day trip or longer break.

Shopping trips to Bicester Village

Enterprise stocks a wide range of cars and people carriers, perfect for a shopping trip to Bicester Village with your friends. With Bicester just 30 miles away, it’s a short drive and you can make a day of it without having to worry about train timetables and lugging your purchases on public transport. There are shops and restaurants aplenty and the beautiful city of Oxford isn’t far, if you fancy a bit of culture. 

A Short Drive from Northampton

Closer to Northampton, just 10 miles away, is the stunning Castle Ashby house and gardens, ancestral home of the 7th Marquess of Northampton. Take a stroll around the Italian Garden with its Orangery dating back to 1862. Then, pay a visit to the colourful and fragrant Butterfly and Secret Gardens. Pop into the Walled Garden Tea Room for some refreshments, then drag the kids away from the play area to the Menagerie to meet the meerkats and marmosets, along with the usual, less exotic farmyard animals.
