Why the Peugeot 208 is the Perfect Hire Car for Kent Drivers
If you’re looking for a hire car that’s compact, stylish, fuel-efficient and easy to drive, the Peugeot 208 ticks every box. At Hire2You, we’ve added it to our fleet for one reason: it just works. Whether you’re navigating the tight streets of Maidstone, cruising down to Margate or taking a weekend trip across the South East, this car fits right in.
Let’s look at why the Peugeot 208 is one of our most popular rental options for Kent drivers.
Easy to Park, Easy to Drive
Kent has no shortage of tight parking spaces, narrow lanes and busy town centres. The Peugeot 208 handles all of them with ease.
- Light steering makes for effortless turning
- Compact size = no parking stress
- Rear sensors and a good driving position help even first-time drivers feel confident
If you’re not used to city driving or just want something stress-free, the 208 is ideal.
Fuel Economy You’ll Appreciate
Hiring a car shouldn’t mean worrying about petrol costs every time you hit the road. The Peugeot 208 offers impressive fuel efficiency, especially the newer diesel and petrol models.
You can expect:
- Up to 60 mpg on longer trips
- Low emissions, which means fewer charges in clean air zones
- Enough fuel range to do a full day trip across Kent without stopping to refill
This makes it a smart choice whether you’re driving short distances or taking a long journey.
Looks Good, Feels Better Inside
The 208 doesn’t just look good on the outside. Step inside, and it feels like a much more expensive car.
The interior is:
- Modern and minimal, with high-quality finishes
- Equipped with touchscreen controls and Bluetooth as standard
- Surprisingly spacious for a small hatchback
Fold the rear seats down and you’ve got plenty of boot space for shopping, luggage or a couple of beach bags if you’re heading to Whitstable or Broadstairs.
It’s a Great All-Rounder
We’ve had customers hire the 208 for:
- Local business trips
- Weekend breaks to the coast
- Running errands across town
- Visiting friends and family further afield
It handles all of these perfectly. The ride is smooth, it cruises well on motorways and it’s comfortable enough for long drives. And for solo drivers or couples, it’s more than enough car for your money.
Affordable and Reliable Hire
We keep all our Peugeot 208s well maintained and regularly serviced. That means when you book with Hire2You, you’re getting a vehicle that’s clean, road-ready and reliable.
Why customers love hiring the 208 from us:
- Affordable daily and weekly rates
- Great fuel efficiency
- No unnecessary extras or hidden costs
- Flexible pickup times and fast booking
We’ve even had people come back asking to hire the exact same car again, that’s how much they enjoyed it.
Perfect for Exploring Kent
Whether it’s a weekday run to Bluewater or a Sunday drive to Dungeness, the Peugeot 208 feels right at home on Kent roads.
Try it out for:
- Seaside day trips to Margate, Ramsgate or Deal
- Scenic routes through the North Downs
- Quick runs between towns like Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester
You don’t need a big 4×4 to explore Kent. You just need a smart car that’s ready to go — and that’s what the 208 gives you.
