KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Richmond

  • When you get a car hire in Richmond, you will be able to enjoy more flexibility compared to if you opted for an alternative type of transport like a bus, taxi or train. This is because you have the freedom to depart when you want rather than relying on public transport schedules. For example, if you wanted to drive to Slough, you could do so in about 40min. To make the same trip using public transport takes in excess of an hour, with multiple changes.
  • London Heathrow Airport (LHR) has many car hire companies for when you arrive, which means you will be able to get your ideal vehicle with ease. If you want to hire a car from SIXT, you can find the branch quickly. In Terminals 2 and 3, you should leave the airport and take the lifts to Level 0. You’ll then see signs for the Car Rental Bus Stop, where a shuttle will collect you. This is Bus Stop 7/8 for Terminal 2 and Bus Stop 17 for Terminal 3. If you land at Terminal 4, you should take the free Heathrow Express to Terminal 5 and follow signs to Sofitel Hotel, where you’ll find the SIXT branch.
  • When you get a car hire in Richmond, you will see that it’s a popular district within London. Many tourists choose to stay here due to its close proximity to the centre of the capital. As it’s so busy, you’ll often find people crossing the roads at areas that aren’t official pedestrian crossings, so drive with care. There are also a lot of cyclists in Richmond, so it’s important you regularly check your mirrors, especially if you need to turn or if you’re at a roundabout.
  • When you get your Richmond car hire, you will see that the district is very busy with traffic, especially during rush hour when people commute to the centre of London. This is normally from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. If you want to avoid long delays, it’s wise to stay off the roads during these times. One road that is particularly busy is the M4, which connects London with the west. Should you need to head in that direction, it's recommended to find a different route.
  • Mini hire cars in Richmond are around 45% cheaper than other car types, on average

This will make driving in busy traffic and parking easier. However, if you’re planning to take your vehicle to the Surrey countryside, you will benefit from having something more robust, like a Kia Sportage SUV. These are great for steep hills and a range of terrains which you might encounter in the countryside.

  • What’s the speed limit in Richmond?

    It’s important you stay within the speed limits when you drive in your car in Richmond; otherwise, you might be fined or have an accident.

If you’re driving in Richmond or anywhere else in London, the limit is 30 mph (48 km/h), while near schools, the speed limit will drop to 20 mph (32 km/h) – be sure you adhere to these limits.

  • Where are the best places to park in Richmond?

    There are lots of places to park your car hire in Richmond. There is a free car park on Broomfield Road inside the park, but this has limited space. Similarly, Sheen Lane Car Park is also free. For a bit more security, you can park at NCP Car Park London Richmond Station. This costs about £ 20 (₹ 1840) for 6 hours.
