London - Waterloo Station Guide

Guide

Waterloo station is famous for being referenced in the lyrics to a Kinks song. The Kinks as a rock band were about as English as you could be, and the song described two young lovers (believed to be Terence Stamp and Julie Christie), meeting at the bridge and admiring the evening's weather and general hubbub.

It has just recently lost the thing it was most famous for in recent years, the Eurostar. Still a major terminus, it has impressive, grand architecture, and sits in one of the most fashionable parts of the city, The South Bank.

When it was first opened it was known as Waterloo Bridge Station'. By 1886 it had become 'Waterloo Station' because this was basically how the locals referred to it.

It has nineteen platforms, and covers a massive 24.5 acres, making it England's largest station. The Victory Arch can be found at the station, and serves as a reminder to passengers of those who gave their lives in the two great wars. Between 1900 and 1922, the station was completely remade.

The station, perhaps due to its size and architecture, has been used a lot as a location for movies and television shows. The impressive four-faced clock in the centre of the main concourse is a famous rendezvous place. In fact the station is a romantic place, perhaps what a visitor to London would expect a London station to be.

Perhaps the best thing about Waterloo is its position on the South Bank. There is the NFT here, the Royal Festival Hall, and The London Eye. Plenty to see and do, in fact and car hire will help you to nip around.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?
