KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hounslow

  • The large town of Hounslow lies between London and Heathrow Airport making it a vital part of the city’s infrastructure. It may have good public transport links but only with a car hire in Hounslow can you have the ultimate experience of freedom and flexibility to travel where you want, when you want. If you enjoy long drives, visit the City of Winchester. Once the capital of England, it and its famous cathedral lie about 55 miles southwest along the M3 and is a treat for history buffs.
  • If you’re visiting Hounslow by plane, London Heathrow Airport (LHR) is less than five miles away and a perfect place to reserve your Hounslow car hire to get your explorations off to an immediate start. There are several hire car companies servicing the various Heathrow Airport terminals, including Budget, National and Avis and all are easy to find once you exit the Customs Area at the Arrivals Hall. A reservation made well in advance of your trip is essential, even more so during the peak summer season.
  • The geography of Hounslow makes it a haven for heavy-duty traffic and you shouldn’t be surprised if there are bottlenecks along key roads at various times during the day. Travelling along the M4 in either direction could spell trouble trying to penetrate the outskirts of the town while the A4 (Great West Road) and A316 (Chertsey Road) are vulnerable to congestion in the downtown area. Cyclists, motorbikes and pedestrians are plentiful here, so always be on your guard.
  • If you’re staying in downtown Hounslow, always have escape routes handy lest you get caught up in the 06:00-09:00 rush hour traffic attempting to exit the town for a day of adventure. Afternoon lunch hours (between 13:00 and 15:00), as well as the evening rush hours (18:00-20:00), may present nightmares for unsuspecting drivers. Have your sat nav at the ready in case those alternative routes become necessary.
  • Book your car hire in Hounslow at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Hounslow are around 1% cheaper than other car types, on average

They kept trying to upcharge us for everything! Our original price went from $140 to like $400 before I said no to all extra charges. The drop off location was also INCREDIBLY difficult to find.

It was fine but I had some mechanical or electrical problems with the car and I called Alamo and there wasn’t a quickly solution, so I looked for help in other persons. I was in the middle of a trip and I couldn’t wait all the day for a solution

Great staff on arrival - friendly and warm - vehicle as advertised. A few bits and pieces broken - the wireless charger was ripped out. Reason for the ordinary rating was the badly damaged tyre that was on the car at pick up. We didn’t notice at first, but within a few hours something didn’t feel ideal. On inspection, the tire already had yellow markings all over it (the entire wheel, clearly deliberately done). Shouldn’t have been rented in the first place, took three days to get it changed due to Christmas, although the staff at Heathrow were very helpful trying to assist. All up would’ve been great if the vehicle wasn’t a danger to start with!
