KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in West Drayton
- West Drayton Car hire provides one of the best opportunities to take control of your vacation and explore the Hillingdon town, surrounding landscapes and nearby cities without paying local taxis or trying to figure out the public transport system. Take time to visit Farlows Lake before driving a little further to visit Windsor Castle. One of the most popular trips from West Drayton is a short drive to London, which takes around 40 minutes.
- Many companies offering car hire in West Drayton also offer services from London Heathrow International Airport, which is less than 10 minutes away from the town and most likely to be your arrival and departure point when visiting West Drayton. Companies like Budget and Europcar operate out of the Arrivals Hall in Terminal 2 and 3, as well as the main hall in Terminal 1. These vehicles are usually kept in the car park between terminals 2 and 3 on the Ground Level. It's best to book online through KAYAK to save time and money when you get to the airport as in-person hiring can be more costly.
- Car hire in West Drayton is a simple process, from hiring the car to driving along the streets. You'll need to navigate some heavy traffic from London Heathrow to West Drayton, but outside of that, it should be smooth sailing. The flow of traffic in the city is controlled by traffic lights and roundabouts and is usually easily navigated. Streets in the centre of the town can be narrow and you'll need to look out for the odd bicycle and pedestrian on the road.
- The most difficult thing about driving in West Drayton is usually the narrow roads and the pedestrians in the town centre. There are often cars parked along the side of the road which slows the movement of traffic in the centre of West Drayton. Be aware of motorcycles and mopeds and stick to driving on the left-hand side of the road. Aside from these, driving in the town is relatively easy. The morning and evening commutes between 6:30am and 9:30am and between 5pm and 6:30pm are often the worst traffic times.
- Book your car hire in West Drayton at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
