Worthing car hire

The seaside town of Worthing, in the English county of West Sussex, is beautifully sandwiched between the pebbly coastline and the undulating patchwork of green that is the South Downs. Book car hire in Worthing to see more of this mesmerising part of the UK.

Renting a car in Worthing makes for a hassle-free break at the British seaside...

Once upon a time Worthing was little more than a fishing village, where burly men of the sea dragged hauls of mackerel on to the smooth pebbles of the beach. But long before the Victorians went around discovering sunny seafront havens, the Georgians put Worthing on the holiday map as a fashionable place in which to take the sea air and bathe. They transformed the landscape with elegant buildings so typical of the era. These white-washed beauties have survived the rigours of the ageing process and today blend in handsomely with modern architecture, palm trees and everything else you'd expect to find at the seaside. 

Worthing sits on the West Sussex coast between the popular tourist hotspots of Brighton in the east and Bognor Regis to the west.

Worthing is certain to get your cultural and creative juices flowing - it worked for Oscar Wilde and Harold Pinter, who lived and worked here (Jane Austen visited too). If you'd rather watch someone else do the graft in the artistic department, catch a show at one of the town's three theatres, including the gorgeous Pavilion Theatre. 

Worthing Museum and Art Gallery showcases the evolving fortunes of the town rather well. It's a family-friendly space with lots for young minds to explore. You could also enjoy a stroll amid the tenderly-crafted gardens of Worthing, including the ornamental gardens at Beach House Park and the family activities around the lake at Brooklands Park. But, of course, most visitors do as the Georgians once did: let the waters wash over the feet and the bracing sea wind redden the cheeks as the sun beats down.
