Birmingham is a major UK city with a proud industrial history, a thriving shopping scene, and an exciting mix of cultures. From the historic Jewellery Quarter to the vibrant nightlife of Broad Street, there's always something going on. And while the city is well connected by public transport, owning a car can make life that little bit easier – especially if you're commuting, heading out to the countryside, or just want more flexibility.
