  • When you choose cheap car hire in Grays, you will have the freedom to enjoy this underrated town in Essex without relying on public transportation for your wider adventures. Based on the north bank of the River Thames, Grays offers plenty for visitors that are looking for a quiet getaway, or would like to be slightly out of the London hustle and bustle. Enjoy local activities such as the Grays Beach Riverside Park and the Aqua Park Lakeside, or take an hours’ drive to Windsor Castle. With London just 20 miles (32km) away and the M25 motorway at your disposal, you can enjoy a smooth trip into the big city without a hitch, anytime you feel like it.
  • When considering Grays car hire, you will have a multitude of locations to find that perfect deal from. If you are arriving in Grays via plane, you may make use of Stansted Airport which is your closest London-serving airport. You can find a wide variety of agencies to pre-book car hire deals on such as keddy by Europcar, Hertz, Budget, Alamo, GREEN MOTION and others. Gatwick and Heathrow Airports are also just over 30 miles (48km) away from Grays, and have great car hire choices too.
  • Driving your cheap car hire in Grays should provide a multitude of opportunities to get out an explore. The UK has very simple driving rules, starting with driving on the left. Grays has a similar infrastructure to most of the UK towns, with motorways on the outskirts leading into the town, larger arteries inside the town and many roundabouts. Stay under the blood alcohol limit of 0.08% blood when driving and wear your seat belts at all times. Disorderly conduct such as swearing at fellow drivers might get you fined, as much as sleeping in your car whilst tipsy is also an offence. Keep off your mobile phone and stick to the speed limit and driving in Grays will be a pleasure.
  • You shouldn’t encounter many challenges when driving your car hire in Grays. Roads are in good condition and as long as there is no construction, there should be no reason for bad congestion. It is always sensible to hire a GPS to get congestion alerts if you are planning on using motorways and main roads, and one can be obtained from your car hire agency. If you don’t know the roundabout system, always remember to yield for traffic already in the circle coming from your right. Bad weather can cause rain and snow which leads to black ice and slippery roads so take heed of the wet London weather.
