KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in South Croydon

  • Car hire in South Croydon provides several advantages over other modes of transport in the area. Unlike relying on public transport schedules, having a car allows you to conveniently explore the surrounding attractions, like Boxpark Croydon or Addington Hills Viewing Platform. It offers the flexibility to customise your itinerary and reach destinations at your own pace. Moreover, with South Croydon car hire, you can easily access nearby areas like the scenic Surrey Hills or venture into central London without relying solely on train services.
  • Choosing car hire in South Croydon at a nearby airport offers convenience and ease of travel. At London Gatwick Airport (LGW), car hire offices are in the dedicated Car Rental area next to the South Terminal. Follow the signs directing you to the Car Rental area after leaving Baggage Claim. For London Heathrow Airport (LHR), the car hire desks are in the Arrivals Hall of each terminal. After exiting Customs, follow the signs to the appropriate terminal's car hire desks.
  • When driving in South Croydon, note the local traffic patterns and road conditions.
