The wide, open road is calling your name, and Stow-cum-quy is a superb base to kick-start your journey. Situated 5 miles from the city center, the first thing you’ll need to pick up is the key to one of our superb rental cars. An SUV will bring you in and around Cambridge in total comfort — or you might want to get off the beaten track and explore hidden gems with a rugged four-wheel drive. If you want to effortlessly zip around the city, we’d recommend choosing a compact or economy car. They won’t be as spacious, but they’ll be a dream when it comes to maneuvering into those tiny parking spaces.
