KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Brentford
- When you get a car hire in Brentford, you will get much more flexibility compared to if you were to make a similar trip using an alternative mode of transport like a bus, train or taxi. It’s quicker, and you will be able to depart at a suitable time for yourself, rather than adhering to public transport timetables. For example, if you go to West Ealing, you can do so by car in about 12min. Taking a bus for the same journey takes approximately 20min and also limits the times you can depart.
- London Heathrow Airport (LHR) has a lot of car hire agencies that you can choose from, so your ideal car is never far away. For instance, if you wanted to get a car from SIXT you can do so with ease. In Terminals 2 and 3, you need to depart the airport and go to Level 0 via the lift. Here, you will get a free shuttle to the branch from the Car Rental Bus Stop. If you’re arriving at Terminal 4, you must take the free Heathrow Express to Terminal 5, from where you need to follow the signs to Sofitel Hotel. Here, you will find the SIXT branch.
- When you get a Brentford car hire, you will see that it’s a busy district with tourists who want to explore the centre of London. Due to its popularity, you will need to take care when driving, as it’s common for people to cross the street in areas that are not designated pedestrian crossings. There is also a big cycling culture in London, so it’s important that you regularly check your mirrors when driving, especially if you’re coming up to a turn or roundabout.
- When you get a car hire in Brentford, you will notice that the roads can get extremely busy during rush hour. This tends to be on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., when lots of locals are heading to and from work in central London. If you want to avoid congestion on the roads, then it’s recommended that you stay off them around these times. One road that is extremely busy most of the time is the M4, which connects London to Heathrow and the west of the country. Whilst it’s an important road, if you don’t need to take it, then it’s advisable to find an alternative route.
- Book your car hire in Brentford at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
