Rent a hire car at London Gatwick Airport

Renting cars from London Gatwick Airport.

Gatwick Airport is just one of the airports servicing London and the south of England. It is located on the south side of London not far from the M23 (which connects to the M25 at junction 7 - J7) and on the outskirts of Crawley. London Gatwick Airport is used by business passengers travelling into the city and holidaymakers alike. Car rental from London Gatwick Airport is available for passengers on arrival and is the easiest way to continue your journey as it saves queuing for the underground or waiting for a train.

It is a simple process and enables you to book the car of your choice quickly and easily, just follow the online process to complete your reservation and you will be given a booking reference. When you arrive at the car hire company at Gatwick airport, you'll find your hire car ready and waiting for you to collect and drive off.

Book the rental car which most suits your needs - 2 seater cabriolet, luxury saloon or 7 seat people carrier - the range of vehicles can accommodate two to seven passengers and most are available in either manual or automatic gear boxes and both petrol and diesel engines. For families travelling with young children, don't forget to reserve booster child seats to ensure the safety of the younger members of the family throughout your journey. All types of vehicle are available to rent at London's Gatwick Airport - cars, vans, minibuses, automobiles - they are all available to suits the needs of travellers into Gatwick International Airport. Larger groups of 8 passengers or more travelling together often like to stay as one group, such as attending business conferences, or travelling to a wedding, and opt to rent a minibus. However, when 2 or more families travel together, it can prove very useful to have two hired cars offering more flexibility. Sometimes travellers have more luggage than can easily be fitted into the boot of a rental car. At times like this, it makes sense to hire a small van to transport the luggage and parcels, leaving comfort and space for passengers travelling in the hire car.

It's necessary to name all the drivers who are going to drive the hire vehicle as failure to do so may invalidate your insurance. Check out the options to minimise the policy excess and look carefully at all the details of the rental car hire agreement. Be aware of charges incurred for late delivery of the car and similarly the policy for cancellation or early return. Foreign travellers driving on the busy roads around London are kindly reminded that they should drive on the left side of the road. Please also take note of speed limits and look out for speed cameras. Should you be caught speeding, the hire car company will hold you responsible for any fines incurred. This will also be the case for parking tickets so take care when the hired car is in your possession. If your need to refer to it, it can be located in the compartment in front of the passenger seat.

Staff at the Airport car hire desk will show you all the controls of the rental car before you leave the depot. Please ask if you are unfamiliar with the vehicle you are hiring or any aspect of your hire agreement. The representative from the rental company that you are renting from will be happy to help you. Before departing, ask for directions to return the car to the car hire depot before going to the terminal building at London Gatwick Airport to check in for your homeward flight. Courtesy transport is often available if the returns garage is not within easy walking distance to the check-in area.
