The standard British, Irish, and Commonwealth English term for what Americans call a car rental. When you need wheels for a trip in the UK, you don't rent — you hire. The distinction is purely regional vocabulary: same transaction, same temporary use of a vehicle, just different linguistic traditions. You'll see 'car hire' on every UK travel booking site, airport sign, and travel guide.
We sorted the car hire at Heathrow and were on the motorway within an hour.
