Heathrow Airport has an extensive car rental centre, which is home to companies including Europcar, Hertz, Avis and Budget, enabling an array of options to suit a range of budgets. Some of the car hire companies are open 24/7 and most providers in the car hire centre can conveniently be accessed at all times.

The M20 connects you to the South, towards Dover and Folkestone, and takes you North towards another major road, the M25, which circles the UK’s capital, London, and can connect you to other routes towards the North of the UK. The M2 will guide you to the East, towards Sittingbourne, which has a selection of museums and notable locations, and the Isle of Sheppey, known as Kent’s ‘Treasure Island’. Motorways can become congested with traffic during rush hour, which is normally between 7:00 to 9:00 and 17:00 to 19:00, however we would advise you to tune into the traffic news to follow the latest updates on the day.

Only taxis and bicycles can access the High Street from Pudding Lane and King Street, and only buses can access the High Street from Mill Street, King Street, Pudding Lane and Fairmeadow.

Pros:

Nice car and helpful office staff.

Cons:

I was confused about the side-street route to get back to the rental office even though I could see it off to the side as we drove by again...and again. The sat nav directions were either confusing or wrong. Please note this was not a problem with the staff.

There was an issue with the pickup as there wasn’t a car ready which created a delay whilst they tried to locate one. Car was excellent once i finally got one.
