KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Didcot
- Driving a car hire in Didcot will give you the efficient transportation that you need if you are travelling with a group or have a lot of luggage. You will easily be able to enjoy the Oxfordshire town and the surrounding region of Oxford City, Blenheim Palace and beyond to the Cotswolds without relying on public transport services and limited transportation options. Instead, cruise around town with your hired car at your own pace, ideal for site-seeing or business trips to get you from A to B.
- If you are continuing to Didcot from a nearby airport, then you can hire a car from the airport and drive your car hire in Didcot. London Heathrow Airport (LHR) is the closest airport to Didcot, located about 72 kilometers away, and the drive is about 1 hour to 1h 30min. There are numerous car hire companies to choose from at London Heathrow Airport, including AVIS, Hertz, and Europcar. You also have the choice of hiring a car owned by a private individual rather than through a car hire company. Look out for the “Car Share” label on the KAYAK website for these deals.
- When driving your hired car in Didcot, and the wider Oxfordshire county, it is important to keep in mind that the roads can become very congested, in particular around Oxford. You can expect heavy traffic during peak commuting hours (around 7:00 to 9:00 and 18:00 to 19:00), so plan your journey accordingly with factoring in delays if needed. Also bear in mind that there are pedestrian only zones in the area around Didcot, mainly in Oxford city centre, where cars are banned from circulating on some roads.
- When driving in Didcot and especially around Oxford City centre and the surrounding region, you should pay special attention to the cyclists on the road. Be prepared to give them sufficient space and be patient. Even though there are cycle lanes in Oxford city centre, they end on the main roads outside the centre. And because the roads can be fast and narrow, it is easy to miss a cyclist on the side of the road, especially when road visibility is limited.
- Book your car hire in Didcot at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
