Benefits of hiring a car at these airports

Booking car hire at a major UK airport such as London Heathrow has a number of advantages, namely the best rates are typically offered by leading car rental suppliers offering a huge choice of vehicles. Rental desks at the UK’s top 20 busiest airports operate 24 hours so it is possible to collect a vehicle regardless of the time you land. Convenient in-terminal collection points and self-serve machines mean no travel to off-site locations, saving you time and money.

Collecting your car

Once you land, head for your respective car rental desk in the Arrivals terminal to pick up the keys to your vehicle. The agent will ask to see your credit card and identification, so be sure to carry your passport and driving licence. All car rentals in the UK come with the minimum third-party insurance as basic, but drivers are recommended to take out additional cover such as Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) to safeguard against minor damages like cracked windscreens. Drivers heading into central London should be aware that there is a weekday congestion charge between 07:00 and 18:00.
