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
  • Economy hire cars in West Drayton are around 37% cheaper than other car types, on average

Roads near schools usually have a limit of 20 mph. If you're driving on the outskirts, you'll usually have limits between 50 mph (80 km/h) and 60 mph (96 km/h). Main dual-carriageways and major highways generally have a limit of 70 mph (112 km/h). These limits tend to change quickly when heading into the city so keep a lookout for the road signs.

  • Where are the best places to park in West Drayton?

    There is plenty of on-street parking available in and around the town centre, especially close to the shopping areas. It isn't always easy to find available spaces but if you get there early enough, you should be able to without any problems. Outside of these parking spots, there are car parks available where you'll be issued a ticket when you enter and be charged for the time spent there.

Terrible. Avoid at every cost. They claim you’ve damaged the car when you haven’t and take loads of money from your deposit. Read the guardian article about them. There is a class action against them. They should not be included on comparison websites as it reflects really badly on that website.

The rental counter experience was fine. The Citroen C3 will go on my list (with the Renault Clio) of cars to avoid. The rubbery, notchy transmission took all the fun out of driving.

Absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever had in renting a car. Arrived in the cold morning, front desk said we had to walk across the parking lot in the freezing cold with a baby to speak to someone. That person told us to wait outside in the cold with a baby until a manager arrived. After 30 min we were told that no manager was coming and that they had no car for us. They offered no solution and had no compassion. They said that they knew they didn’t have a car the day before and didn’t call of notify us in any way. Absolutely despicable.
