London City vs London Airport Car Hire – Which Should You Choose?

Hiring at London Airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, City):

  • ✅ Biggest range of vehicles and often lower daily rates

  • ✅ Collect your car as soon as you land — ideal for onward UK travel

  • ✅ Easier motorway access (M25, M1, M4, M23) straight from the airport

  • ❌ Airport concession fees may increase the overall cost

  • ❌ Queues can be long at peak flight times

Hiring in London City:

  • ✅ Convenient if you’re already staying in central London

  • ✅ Avoids airport crowds and paperwork on arrival

  • ✅ Pick-up points near King’s Cross, Victoria, Canary Wharf and major hotels

  • ❌ City branches can be more expensive per day than airports

  • ❌ Driving in central London means Congestion Charge, ULEZ, and limited parking

Our tip: If you’re flying into London and heading out of the city, airport car hire is usually best value. But if you’re spending a few days in the capital first and only need a car later, a city pick-up can save you parking costs and congestion charges.


⚡ Pro tip: London’s airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton) are well placed for starting the day trips below directly, so some travellers hire at the airport even if staying in the city.

Key Highlights for Car Hire at London: Making the Most of Your Journey.

  • Iconic landmarks: British Museum, Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park.

  • Hidden gems: Hampstead Heath, Kyoto Garden in Holland Park, Leadenhall Market.

  • Day trips made easy: Stonehenge & Bath (2 hrs), Oxford or Cambridge (1.5 hrs), Brighton (1 hr), Cotswolds (2 hrs).

  • Family-friendly: SUVs and people carriers with GPS and child seats available.

  • Peace of mind: Unlimited mileage, insurance options, and trusted providers included.
