KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hertford

  • Car hire in Hertford is a great option for people visiting the quaint English town or planning a trip to other cities around Britain. If you want to visit the capital during your stay, you can drive from Hertford to central London in just over 1 hour. Travelling by car allows you full flexibility over your travel plans. While public transport connections from Hertford are good, they often involve connections and may run at irregular intervals depending on your destination.
  • An airport close to Hertford is London Stansted (STN), which is around 21 miles (34 km) away. You can find plenty of Hertford car hire options directly at the airport, from providers like Hertz, Sixt and Europcar. Stansted car hire services are located in the car hire village. A free shuttle bus is available to take passengers there from the main terminal forecourt every 10min. It takes around 30min to drive from the airport to Hertford.
  • Driving in Hertford is generally a convenient and comfortable way to get around. Most roads here operate a two-lane system, though some streets in the heart of the old town centre are one-way and rather narrow. Streets can be windy and you should make sure to go slowly around corners, particularly when near schools. There are a few busy roundabouts in Hertford, which connect smaller roads to the main A414. It’s worth choosing car hire in Hertford with an included GPS, to make navigation easier.
  • Try to avoid driving in and around Hertford during rush hour, as you may find yourself stuck in traffic for a long time. Roads can be particularly busy from 07:00-09:00 and 17:00-19:00 when commuters are travelling to and from London. If you have arrived by air and hired a car at Stansted Airport, leave yourself plenty of time to return it before catching a return flight, as traffic on this busy route can be congested.
