Verified travelerSep 2024
Get a small car as the streets in many area are very narrow. An automatic is very convenient.
Verified travelerSep 2024
Even though an SUV is more comfortable, I would rent a smaller car as the roads in England are not built for a large car unless you are going to remain on the motorway.
Verified travelerJul 2024
Book directly. Inspect the car before driving off no matter the miles on the car Check the block and refund policy before booking Always ask for emergency and assist numbers before you leave If you are going the the countryside, choose an SUV as the roads are winding and narrow with a lot of potholes.
Verified travelerJun 2024
Green motion was a fine option and we got what we needed.
Verified travelerMar 2024
The smallest car you can fit in is best—old cities make for narrow roads, which makes driving on the other side of the road even more challenging! The more narrow you are the easier it is to get past other cars AND park in VERY narrow spaces.
ChristopherMay 2024
Might be worth calling ahead to confirm that the car that you booked is available.
Verified travelerDec 2023
If you aren't used to driving on the left side of the road, just take your time getting used to it! Otherwise, drivers are very polite and so long as you follow the rules, you'll have no problems. Watch out for speed cameras on the motorways!
VijayakumarFeb 2024
Please take full insurance cover always and avoid paying excess. Rentalcars.com offers very good prices on insurance.
Verified travelerOct 2023
Danielle (at the desk, Heathrow airport) was really helpful, I was 2 hours early to pick up the car and she has managed to find me a nice car.
Verified travelerNov 2023
Get out of London ASAP. No place to drive unless you are renting a car to drive to locations outside the capital. Then driving is perfect!
schneur f.Sep 2023
Before you make your trip to the car rental find out I'm you agreement comes with full insurance and a zero excess
Verified travelerSep 2023
Bags does not mean suitcases of any size. It appears to mean small carry ons.
Verified travelerAug 2023
In suburban streets people park on both sides of the road meaning sometimes you only have a single carriageway and have to dart into an open parking bay to let others through. Drivers are extremely considerate though
Verified travelerJul 2023
Get a car with 360 camera if you never drive on the left side.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Don’t rent a car unless you can drive manual. Make sure you set up international phone service before you get there so that you can call the shuttle company and the car company if you need to, and you can have navigation in the car. Bring the right cords for connection and charging.
BrianJun 2023
London and the UK are undergoing a lot of changes, be aware there are roadworks everywhere, which may impede your journey or add additional driving time (notably the M3 motorway, which is undergoing weekend and nighttime maintenance).
TimothyAug 2023
Check the fine print carefully, and avoid car rental companies that sell you cars without any insurance
Verified travelerJul 2023
Rent your car outside airport. Price at Heathrow are very expensive.
Verified travelerMay 2023
If in the Central area only take smaller Cars And watch your speed as cameras everywhere

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in London

  • The English capital is an extremely busy city, which means driving around central London can be incredibly stressful. But, while public transportation is the best option when discovering the city center, a rental car is the perfect option for those looking to leave London and explore the English countryside or coastal towns such as Brighton.
  • London has five airports: London City (LCY), London Stansted (STN), London Heathrow (LHR), London Luton (LTN), and London Gatwick (LGW). At City Airport, car rental counters are located next to the main terminal building. At Heathrow Airport, car rental companies have desks in all the arrivals terminals. At Gatwick, you'll find car rental desks in both the North and South terminal. Stansted Airport's car rental companies operate from the Airport Car Rental Village, which is outside the terminal building (free shuttle buses that will drop you off there depart from the terminal forecourt every 10 minutes). The Car Hire Center at Luton Airport is accessed via the free APCOA shuttle bus, which you can catch at Bay 1A.
  • The main thing you have to know about driving in the United Kingdom is that traffic runs on the left-hand side of the road. If you're brave enough to drive around the city center, beware that the streets are constantly bustling with tourists. Take into consideration that certain areas in the city are subject to the Congestion Charge, which means you must pay £11.50 (approximately $14.70) per day if you drive in said zones between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., which is applicable Monday to Friday.
  • Driving during London's rush hour can easily add 40 minutes to an hour to your travel time, so avoid going into and out of central London between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., and again in the evening, between 4 p.m. and 6.30 p.m. Roads leading to the city's many airports are often busy during these times as well, so take that into consideration if you're driving back to the airport.
  • Surrey Hills is ideal for short drives if you want access to the most scenic places in England and still be close to the city center. If you don't mind heading out of town, you can pick up a pre-planned route and then drive cheap car rentals in London about 77 miles to the Cotswold, Sevenoaks, or Epping Forest area that boasts over 100 lakes and ponds, making it a great spot for couples, families and pet enthusiasts. You will have an incident-free trip provided you ensure toddlers are secured in age-appropriate booster seats, and all your passengers wear seat belts at all times.
  • London is a tough city to operate a vehicle, especially at peak times. If you're going to do a lot of driving around central London from Monday to Friday, between 7 am and 6 pm, including 12 pm to 6 pm on weekends and bank holidays, you may incur a Congestion Charge. It will cost you approximately £15 ($18) if you pay the fee in advance or on the same day via Auto Pay, online, or by telephone. If you make payment up to 3 days after traveling, a rate of £17.50 ($22) applies and up to £150 ($184) in fines if you default on payments. The Congestion Zone is labeled with the letter "C" in a red circle on signs and painted on the road.
  • Depending on the time of year you visit the U.K, for example, between January and March, when temperatures fall below seven degrees, it's advisable to book London car rentals fitted with winter tires. Snow wheels with more than 2mm of tread are essential for safe driving in wintertime. If it's going to be your first time operating cheap car rentals in London during harsh conditions, confirm when booking your vehicle through KAYAK that car rental companies in the U.K provide them.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in London for $23 or less
  • Book your rental car in London at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in London are around 11% more expensive than other car types, on average

The ride quality of the car was very poor - very "wobbly" even on relatively straight A roads, and electric charging costs were much higher than expected, in part because we had no home charging lead so had to use publiv rapid chargers Would never hire this car again

The pick up experience was a mess. They didn’t have the car I booked and then wanted to “upgrade” me to something that wasn’t going to work for what I needed the car for. Ultimately, it was resolved by the customer service rep, but it delayed my trip and caused much frustration.

The only thing that could have made my experience better was to have the steering wheel on the left side of the vehicle and to drive on the proper side of the road.

The car was not fully charged on pick up and we had to stop to charge and as a result a2.5 hour journey took us 5.5hours. My heavily pregnant wife was very stressed. There were no charger points available nor working when we stopped to charge. We then made it with 8miles left on the battery to the next charging station. We picked up my daughter 2hours late and that created further problems for the family looking after my daughter. They missed their connection to Ireland. The 155miles return journey to Gatwick we only just made again with less than 20miles left on the battery. We were assured the car would travel 255miles on a full charge. But it didnt ! All in all we had an awful experience and a very stressful journey, concerned all the way for my heavily pregnant wife. The girl at budget/Avis desk was Polish and her english language was very poor. I do need a car again Monday 4th for 1day hire again from Gatwick to take my daughter back to school and will use your search engine, but would be extremely concerned if we ended up with a hire from Budget again.

The shuttle van from the airport was fast and convenient. The representatives at the desk were friendly and efficient. There was no line like I have seen at other airports. The return process was fine (except the first representative failed to print us a receipt and we got no email either so had to go back). The car itself, however, left a lot to be desired. It was much smaller than the “typical” model they advertised and though it said “or similar” we didn’t feel it WAS similar. The interior had clearly not been cleaned and was missing a floor mat entirely on the drivers side. It had not been washed, at least not recently. As such, the wipers were so dirty that on the drive home, in a downpour, they honestly were a hazard — we could see next to nothing of the road due to the smears. When we tried to call the desk to let them know of these issues, no one answered… for three days. And when we emailed and requested a response, we got none then either. So communication was a huge problem too. In the end, we cleaned it ourselves and luckily the wipers didn’t need replacing, just a good scrub. But we were extremely frustrated.

As usual with Europcar the sales assistant did not stop for 20mins trying to force me into taking extra insurance. Although I had already paid for the car for the full period confirming conditions I was told that I could not take the car unless I paid a small fortune in extra insurance. This went in for over 20 mins till I called the manager who just let me go as he was legally bound to do. This behavior is a form of extortion and is illegal

Loved the experience with pick up and drop off. It was quick and stress free. The car was good but the rear right tire light came up after I left the site and I didn’t want to go back so I filled it. It must have had a slow leak as it came up numerous times again and I had to keep filling it for a pound each time. But no issues otherwise 💕

They didn’t have the car I had ordered and the ‘equivalents’ were not at the same level. They are all salespeople. You get off the plane exhausted and despite already having paid for a car they work irritatingly hard to get you to upgrade both the car and the insurance. A tiring, frustrating experience.

The vehicle was good, but spoilt by not having an owners manual, so it was difficult whilst driving to understand some of the controls and what the car was doing by itself. I had to go onto the internet to find out what the buttons on the steering wheel did. Finally on returning the vehicle, I told them that a stone had hit the windscreen and it had a crack. When told that the 'costly' collision damage waiver did not cover the cost of repair, I was dismayed, I was told I should be able to claim on my travel insurance. Subsequently, Hertz have included a bill for 808 pounds for the repair of the windscreen. I shall challenge that as I got a quote of 148 pounds for the same repair. I have told my bank to hold over that payment, whilst the matter is resolve with my travel insurance. None of the paperwork I received from the people at the yard, gave me any indication of the exclusion of damage to a windscreen would not be covered by collision damage waiver.

Major waiting time for pick up. The car was handed over without inspection because of which I had issues driving as the wipers were faulty even though the car only had 2700 miles on it. There is no way to approach them if you book thru kayak or qeeq and they do not entertain any third party insurance that you may purchase thru there platforms and insist that you spend 3 times on hertz own insurance Also, hertz does not remove the exorbitant block they put on your card immediately. My block amount was more than the rental amount and I am still to receive the credit despite the bill being settled and 4 days being passed It's better to book directly from a car company after reading all terms and conditions rather than booking thru platforms which offer no information support or assistance in your trip

Terrible. Avoid at every cost. They claim you’ve damaged the car when you haven’t and take loads of money from your deposit. Read the guardian article about them. There is a class action against them. They should not be included on comparison websites as it reflects really badly on that website.

The location was weird, but the service was excellent and people were friendly.

Passenger van

KAYAK
I arrived, and they had the wrong car. They had an SUV-type 7-seater, but I booked a people carrier van. They didn't have any available, so I had to wait 90 minutes with 3 children for the car to be ready. They claimed the issue with the booking was with Kayak/Expedia, and they made me pay the difference in upgrading the car. I showed them the booking confirmation and the picture of the van/people carrier with 9 seats, but they still made me pay. I was so tired and knew I needed the van that I had to pay to get out of the place. The manager was helpful, and the people were lovely. But I find all car rental places to be borderline crooks. This just confirmed it again for me. There are ridiculous add-ons for mileage, car seats for kids (a legal requirement), insurance, and excess. The list goes on.

Pros:

At pickup the vehicle was given away and we had to pay for an upgrade. We also had to buy insurance, as we could not show proof that our credit card covered excess insurance laibility. Shuttle buses run every 45 minutes, so there is a long wait

A terrible hire experience, bad enough to wreck your family holiday in London. We were given a hire vehicle with rim damage and were told not to worry as rim damage is counted as damage. We returned the vehicle the next day and got charged the full bond as there was a scuff on the tire. I asked for photos of the vehicle before I hired it, they couldn’t provide it. As soon as they know you have insurance through a third party they will look for any opportunity to take your full bond. In our case the scuff to the tyre required a spot light for it to be seen. Very disappointing as we picked this company due to stronger reviews to avoid this problem. The most detailed return inspection I have ever witnessed when hiring a vehicle. They are clearly looking for any opportunity to pass on charges for older vehicles to customers. No manager or similar to discuss with and left very frustrated due to the poor customer service. I wouldn’t recommend this hire car company.

Very disappointing. The pick up address was closed. Notice on door saying go to another office. No car availability when I got there. I had to wait three hours to get an automatic non-electric vehicle, which is what I booked and needed. No compensation offered.

This is the worst company and would never recommend anyone to book from them. Firstly they forced me to buy collision insurance and didn't accept the coverage provided by my credit card. At the time of booking there was no such requirement and if it was mandatory it should have been told at the time of booking, considering that they are scamming people. Secondly, they don't record all the damages to car and ask renter to record video, I tried to show them few scratches and the guy said record video, later while returning one of the scratch was not clear in video and the guy seems excited to blame me for that scratch luckily I found another video on my phone in which those scratches were evident. Never rent from them and go for known brands. I have already raised complaint to priceline for refund of addition $200 that I had to pay at pick up but they are also not helpful though it is a mistake by both of them.

From start to finish zaine was Professional helpful and a great lad. I Wasn't expecting it to be as cheap as it was without hidden costs, but even the platinum insurance was resonable in comparrison to most Rental places I have visited (which is alot lately). 100% reccomend these guys!!

Staff is very rude and attempt to commit fraud. I bought the platinum protection package which protects you from liability in case of scratches or even totaling the car and they’re still try to withhold my deposit of $254. Worst people I’ve ever dealt with.

Negative: On arrival at Heathrow T4, despite what was on my booking from the broker (and what I have since confirmed is posted on the Surprice website), Surprice Heathrow pick-up only covered T2/T3/T5. This meant having to get a train with multiple bags which was very challenging for one person. My AMEX credit card was also not accepted (despite having already been used through the broker booking for part payment of the fee) Additionally, I was informed at the counter that I would need to pay extra to be dropped off at the airport on my departure Lastly, the car was dirty and had clearly not been cleaned. The agent offered to clean the car but I was now running late due to the unexpected trip from T4, etc so had to waive this offer Positive: On returning the car a few days later, I provided my poor experience to a gentleman called Sadan, who was handling the car check-in. He was very attentive and extremely customer focused. He apologised for the issues I had encountered and provided a complimentary drop off to the airport.

The rental counter experience was fine. The Citroen C3 will go on my list (with the Renault Clio) of cars to avoid. The rubbery, notchy transmission took all the fun out of driving.

Pros:

Very confusing process. Ended up paying triple of what I thought I was going to. I would suggest a more reputable brand. Might cost more on paper but not worth the headache of this rental experience.

Cons:

Shuttle to the car park. Clear terms and conditions.

The in person workers were pleasant enough but the car was terrible. We were told we’d have a 5 person 4 suitcase car. When we put our suitcases in the car we barely fit 3 people. The windshield wipers did not work and we had many days of scary rain. We had to hold them down while driving and it wasn’t safe. The stick shift didn’t work properly and the car pulled badly to the left. We tried many times to call customer service to exchange the car or return it to a different location because we were too scared to drive it. We were never able to get a hold of someone that could help us. One time we spoke to a person and she supposedly gave us an inside line but no one ever answered the line. We had locals try to help us, the two hotels tried but to no avail. We left the car parked at a hotel for 6 days without driving it because we couldn’t get back to where we rented it and we were too scared to drive it. The whole thing was awful and traumatizing. When we returned it we let them know about the difficulties but they didn’t seem to care. I won’t rent from them again. I hope they look it over before renting it out again but I doubt they will as they are so busy.

Absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever had in renting a car. Arrived in the cold morning, front desk said we had to walk across the parking lot in the freezing cold with a baby to speak to someone. That person told us to wait outside in the cold with a baby until a manager arrived. After 30 min we were told that no manager was coming and that they had no car for us. They offered no solution and had no compassion. They said that they knew they didn’t have a car the day before and didn’t call of notify us in any way. Absolutely despicable.

Renting a car and driving in London

London Car Rentals: Everything you Need to Know

Our top tips for driving in England’s busiest city.

Luke Abrahams
June 15, 2023

London can be quite the odyssey when it comes to navigating its roads. Driving here can be a challenge - especially if you are unfamiliar with the area - which is why most prefer to utilize its famously efficient public transit system, and its king, the Tube. When it comes to leaving the capital in search of greener pastures, renting a car is hands down your best option.

What documents do you need to rent a car in London?

Anyone who rents a car within the United Kingdom will need a valid driving license, as well as a form of ID such as a passport. Visitors must also provide proof of return travel to their country of origin, as well as details of their accommodation. In addition, a checking or credit account is required to cover the security deposit and pay for the car rental itself.

What cars are available to rent in London?

The smaller the car, the better. Why?

A smaller car will help you park in tight spaces, navigate the narrow - and often busy - streets of London, and adjust to being on the opposite side of the road you are used to driving.

London is quite literally a melting pot for designer cars, from homegrown greats, from Bentley to Rolls Royce and European imports that range from Ferraris to snug Renaults. If it’s your first time here, the smaller the better as the narrow roads of London can be quite a challenge to navigate when they get busy. In order to fit in (literally), Minis are a great option, as are compact options like a Fiat 500.

Where do I rent a car at the airport?

All of London’s major airports – Heathrow, Gatwick, Stanstead, and Luton – have car hire companies onsite. Popular choices include Sixt, Hertz, Europcar, Budget, Avis, and Virtuo, among many others. All offer car pick-up and shuttle services at your leisure, and depending on the time or rental, incur an additional collection fee.

Can I hire a car outside of the airport?

Yes. There are several places to rent a car in London within the city and in local boroughs. Check our handy tool to find the closest car rental service to your hotel.

Everything you need to know about car insurance in London

Anyone thinking of renting a car in London must get insurance. The city is known for its busy roads and fast-paced lifestyle. Most, if not all car hire companies require drivers to take out insurance but check the fine print as the level of protection differs from company to company.

What you should know about driving in London

Despite government efforts to reduce congestion on London’s roads, driving remains a popular way of getting around the city. As a result, the roads are often very busy, especially around the morning (6 am to 9 am and evening rush hours 4 pm to 7 pm). If you’re driving into central London, the daily congestion charge fee must be paid before you head in. This covers everything within the ring road from Marylebone across to Shoreditch and down to Victoria and more.

Fully electric vehicles and select energy-efficient hybrids are exempt from all low-emission zone charges, so you might be able to save some money in the long run if you choose to rent an electric vehicle.

The rules of the road differ depending on what part of the city your car finds itself in, so it’s well worth planning your route before you set off to avoid any unwanted charges. Why? London councils have the power to enforce all sorts of common offenses, such as no left, right, or U-turns, with traffic cameras.

It’s also worth noting that you drive on the left in the UK, so take plenty of time to adjust to the new rules of the road.

The dos and don’ts of parking your rental car in London

When it comes to finding a spot to park that is relatively close to your destination can be a bit of a challenge. Make sure you have downloaded prior to your London visit, one of these apps to help you find a parking spot: Appy Parking, Parkopedia, RingGo, and JustPark.

Apart from finding a good parking spot, there are strict rules about where drivers can leave their vehicles and where they can’t. Markings and signs are good indicators.

Apart from Stopping or parking on red routes is prohibited, unless otherwise stated, and any sat nav the car has installed alerts the dos and don’ts along the way. In addition to the red routes, parking on double yellow lines at any time is a big no. Single yellow lines can be parked on at certain times of the day. Parking is allowed on designated dashed white lines, but drivers must follow the rules of the corresponding ‘pay and display signs. Failure to do so will result in you getting a hefty parking ticket.

It’s also worth noting that you cannot park on these lines if they are reserved for permit holders. It is also illegal to park on the pavement in London, and in some London boroughs like Islington or Westminster, those driving diesel vehicles will be charged an extra parking surcharge.

In addition to road markings, several hotels offer valet car parking spaces, and there are several car parks dotted throughout the city if you choose to leave your vehicle parked for the day. Beware, this can be very costly, though, and sometimes work out even higher than what you paid to rent the car in the first place.

Where can I get fuel and how much does it cost in London?

Public transit is the cheapest and easiest way to get around London, but you might still need a car rental. Don’t be afraid - even a visitor can fit in like a local if they prepare accordingly.

There are plenty of gas stations dotted throughout the city, especially in suburban areas. Shell, BP, and Texaco are some of the big brands to look out for, alongside branded UK supermarkets like Sainsbury’s and Tesco, which generally offer the best prices.

The average price of fuel throughout the capital is currently set at £1,47/l (around $1.83) for petrol and £1,66/l (about $2.06) for diesel engines. Those driving an electric car or hybrid vehicle should know that there are multiple charging stations dotted around the capital. EV charging points can be found by searching for one via the Greater London Authority website.
