RENT A CAR (or share a ride)

There are numerous companies in town apart from the classics (Avis, Hertz or Budget). Some you can find in the airports and some around the city. There are options by the hour, by days, weeks or leasing for a few months.

It is very popular to rent cars over the weekends for day trips as most Londoners don’t own a car. Congestion charge and the Park permits only for residents in many downtown areas make it really hard for anyone to bother with driving.

Depending on your needs you may prefer one or another company. Here are a few we suggest and one comparing site where you can find the best deals:

www.travelsupermarket.com

www.easycar.com

www.carrentals.co.uk

www.1car1.com - one of the best deals in town

www.thrifty.co.uk

One novelty thing is that you can also rent cars by the hour, which can be truly handy!

www.streetcar.co.uk

www.citycarclub.co.uk

Man and a van - an Aussie service, usually the cheapest, offer a van and a driver who can help you

VanMan London
- they can charge you also by the hour

Taylors Man and a Van


Help I Am Moving
