Hiring a car at East High Wycombe

High Wycombe is found within the larger town of Buckinghamshire and is populated by well over 120,000 residents. It was famous as an industrial region throughout the majority of the 19th century, particularly for its production of fine furniture and cabinetry. In these modern times, Wycombe has enjoyed a steady stream of retail development. The town is also quite picturesque and tranquil, areas such as the fields along the River Rye, are excellent spots for a picnic. A yearly festival known as the "Asian Mela" takes place upon these very same shores. Two large retail centres are located within the city and West Wycombe Park is one of the largest green areas within all of Buckinghamshire. Enterprise Rent-A-Car is located on London Road, not far from the junction between the M40 and the A4010 motorways. This location can also be reached by taking a bus from the Eden Shopping Centre. Those arriving from out of town may also use this service via the High Wycombe railway station (the only station in town).
