KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Gatwick

  • If you're looking to explore with your cheap car rentals in Gatwick, know about the city's key thoroughfares. The primary thoroughfare in the region is the A23, which travels south from London via Crawley and on to Brighton. At Crawley, the A23 splits off into the M23, which then connects directly to the M25 and the rest of the London beltway system. The A24 connects the A23 in Crawley with Worthing to the south, with a branch off to the A217 that leads to the M25 in Reigate. The A2011 leaves Crawley towards Lingfield and then continues on to East Grinstead to the east.
  • When driving your cheap car rentals in Gatwick, look out for the toll roads, which are the city's highways designed to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow. The most well-known of these toll highways is the M25, which links Gatwick Airport to the rest of the UK. Some stretches of this highway are tolled by the operator, Highways England. Gatwick also has a number of other highways that require toll payments to use particular stretches, such as the A23 and the M23 motorways. Highways England is responsible for the management and maintenance of all toll roads, including the maintenance of the surveillance cameras.
  • Gatwick car rentals have a legal rental age limit of 21 years old, according to UK law. As a Canadian citizen, you need a valid Canadian driver's licence and at least a year of driving experience to qualify. A valid international driving permit may be necessary if your driver's licence is not in English. In addition, you must provide a passport or other official national identification card. A major credit card in your name is often required to facilitate a deposit at the time of the car rental. The car rental provider may ask for extra documentation, like a confirmation of your return flight.
  • Popular attractions like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, and the British Museum are located in different areas of London Having a rental car lets you easily reach all of these destinations during your stay.

For convenience, the airport partners with several car rental agencies to provide them with offices out of the south terminal. A few of the rental car companies operating out of London Gatwick include Sixt, Avis, Budget, and Europcar.
  • While driving in Gatwick you’ll have to become comfortable with driving on the left side of the road. Be sure to drive cautiously and within the speed limits during your stay.

  • Traffic jams can be a problem in London. It is especially a challenge in the city’s center from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. To minimize this problem, congestion charge zones have been established. So, if you are driving in this area during business hours, you’ll have to pay a toll.

Pros:

The car.

Cons:

We picked up the car at LONDON GATWICK airport and it would have been helpful if the girl who processed our pick up could have informed us about the LONDON CONGESTION CHARGE. We learned about it after driving in to London twice. You can pay the charge before going in to London and it is A LOT CHEAPER.. now we have to pay the fines AND PAY ENTERPRISE A 35 GBP processing fee per fine. I understand it is our responsibility to be aware of things but a little heads up would have been appreciated. Especially when we dropped off the car at Stansted and were told by the young man who processed the return that we should have been advised about the London Congestion charge.

Pros:

Vehicle cleanliness and overall high standard of maintenance that was obvious from the beginning.

Cons:

Salesman used fear mongering and scare tactics in order to force an upgrade on the insurance coverage, ever after they had been shown a 3rd party full coverage proof of insurance. Salesman was manipulative and overall dishonest with regard to the percentage of all rentals returned with serious or 'dead-lining' mechanical damage for drivers who did/did not purchase the additional insurance coverage from the agency.

Pros:

Price. efficiency of pick up and drop off. Color of car. Gas mileage. Looks of car (lots of amused comments). Size for traffic and city driving. Your staff were super helpful.

Cons:

Engine size - zero power. Enough for around town but on a long trip (London to Exeter) not good. Seats were not great for long ride - was glad to get out. BUT it did the job and we'll be back.

Pros:

The car was fine and the staff was friendly.

Cons:

The rental agency is in the Crown Plaza Hotel in Crawley far from the airport. The shuttle only comes once every 45 minutes so be sure to very arrive early not to miss your flight, and be prepared for a long cold wait at the bus stop.

The place is a total scam. PLEASE be very careful if you deal with them, especially at the moment of signing where they will try to distract you In Order to lock you into some crazy extras. Do yourself a favor and bring your business somewhere else. Feel free to read their google reviews and you will see dozens of clients like me that were duped by a very dishonest sales team.

Everything was great from start to finish. We got a nice new SUV as requested, drop and pickup were easy and we got our $250 deposit back with no issues a few days later. Credit card was enough for insurance and we were warned about the risk of not getting additional insurance but not forced to actually take it. Overall amazing experience!

Even though we had coverage from a 3rd part insurance provider they insisted that we left with their basic cover package at $40 extra a day. I sent a few emails and they removed the charge 48hours later and refunded for the 2 days.

They tried to rip me off! didn't provide me with a damage for the existent damage and the employee said will provide it latter but I took pictures before I use the vehicle. Now they are saying the car never been damaged and I have to be charged for the old damages as according to their system the car never been damaged and the vehicle year is 2021! I disputed it and sent my proves but it is very poor management and it is stress and anxiety no needs for me to go through I put down a cheaper options to be with reputable company but National/Enterprise prove me wrong.
