Traffic Information

National and international flights land at the central London City Airport or at London's Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted Airports, all of which are located between 20 and 40 miles out of town. Car rental desks are clearly signposted in all airport terminals. Out of town airports have fast motorway links into the city so once your rental agreement is completed it won't be long before you reach your holiday or business hotel. You will also find all of our city centre branches conveniently located for local transport links.

London is a busy city that covers a wide area bordered in many places by the M25 motorway. Like all major cities, it has its own traffic restrictions, one-way systems and roadworks. Major river crossings can become congested, especially during the rush hour but with your Sat Nav, you will arrive stress-free wherever you're headed.

Don't risk a street parking fine with you car hire in London but choose from multi-storey and underground parking available across the city. Please be aware that London operates both a congestion charge and a low emission zone. Our advisors are happy to provide information on both issues.

Collecting your vehicle in London is easy, the hard part is deciding what you're going to do first. A riverside drive along the Embankment reveals the Houses of Parliament, the London Aquarium and the London Eye. Further along is the impressive Tower of London, just an easy drive from our Westfield Stratford City branch. London is a city that successfully mixes light industry, commercial activity and business with pleasure, all sitting comfortably next to residential and entertainment areas.

Sixt Tip

Panoramic Views Across Londons Skyline

The very fact that London is so varied and cosmopolitan is what makes it so unique. As Samuel Johnson famously said, "When a man is tired of London he is tired of life". But enjoying London's variety can be tough on your budget. Make the most of your car hire by driving to Hampstead and taking a walk to the top of Parliament Hill or enjoy the history of Greenwich Park. Both provide excellent panoramic views across the city, without the high cost of visiting the Shard.

Sightseeing Destinations

It would take more than one trip to enjoy all that London has to offer but try and find some time with your hire a car to venture out of the city. Windsor is a must on any tourist itinerary. Windsor Castle is one of the Queen's official residences and the largest occupied castle in Europe. Tour its stately rooms and intriguing museums before taking a stroll around the town and crossing the Thames to visit Eton College. Eton High Street with its medieval buildings is the ideal place for souvenir shopping.
