What will you be doing on Valentine’s Day? Instead of the usual meal out, or a weekend in a hotel, why not hire a car with Avis and do something different?
If you’re in London, explore London Zoo or take a stroll in Regents Park Rose Garden? You could also re-enact your favourite film clips at the places where romantic films like Love Actually and Bridget Jones’ Diary were filmed. Why not take a drive out to Hampton Court Palace where you can uncover the romances of Henry VIII and his many wives, some of whom are said to still haunt the palace. Play hide-and-seek in the maze and stroll through tranquil gardens down to the River Thames.
Romantic drives are a great way to explore the countryside – who knows what adventures you might have? Why not take a route through the Cotswolds taking you back in time through sleepy village scenery and spend a cosy night at The Amberley Inn near Minchinhampton.
If you’re out and about, why not have a picnic? You can take a hamper with all your favourite treats along on your very own treasure hunt. These trails are available up and down the country, cost just £5 and it’s a really fun way to spice up a walk in the country!
If laid-back love isn’t your thing, there are some adrenaline-fuelled activities designed especially for couples. You can take the big leap together in every sense of the word with a tandem bungee jump. Put your faith in that rope (and each other) by taking the plunge!
Why not share with us what you have got planned this Valentine’s day??



I have held a clean UK driving licence for 57 years, and am now 75.Is there any age restriction on hiring in Northern Ireland? I am planning to go there shortly.
Hi Mervyn,
There is currently no upper age restriction for renting with Avis in the UK and Northern Ireland.
Hope this helps,
Stephen
