London Car Hire That’s Environmentally Friendly

Don’t want your London car rental to cost the Earth?

Enjoy your trip with a clean conscience when you hire an electric vehicle (EV). You’ll travel in total comfort, without sending any emissions into our atmosphere.

When’s the Best Time to Visit London?

As a cosmopolitan city, London offers incredible experiences all year long.

For a buzzing atmosphere, outdoor shows and tennis at Wimbledon, book your London car rental for summer. It’s also the best season for travelling north, especially if you’re going all the way to

.

Spring is the time to see the Chelsea Flower Show, picnic in the Kew Botanic Gardens and see a Shakespearean play at the Globe Theatre.

In winter, get snug next to fireplaces in cosy pubs, and soak up the city’s Christmas cheer – from winter wonderland in Hyde Park to Christmas by the river around London Bridge.

Autumn is the season to wander through autumn leaves – be sure to swing by Richmond Park, Greenwich Park and Nunhead Cemetery. Also recommended is a spin in your London car rental to Stanhill farm in Kent, where you can go pumpkin picking.

What To Do in London

When heading to London, you can expect all the delights of heading to an international capital – great food, fascinating history and a dramatic skyline.

There are many museums to see, and 23 have free admission, including the Tate Modern, National Gallery and Museum of London.

Meanwhile, the street food markets in London offer a vibrant and varied introduction to the city’s food scene. Have a pie or sample a curry at Borough Market’s artisan stands, or head to Broadway Market for food with a hipster twist.

If you want to escape from the hustle and bustle, take your London car rental to the tranquillity of Richmond Park, which was once part of royal hunting grounds.

Five Ways To Dive Into History in London

Your London car rental is your key to nearly 2,000 years of history.

Start your adventure at the British Museum, where you’ll see ancient Greek sculptures from the Parthenon, a giant bust of Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II and the Rosetta Stone – among thousands of other historical and cultural treasures.

Make your next stop at Westminster Abbey. Beneath its soaring mediaeval ceilings, many of England’s major events take place, including royal weddings and funerals. More than 100 writers – from William Shakespeare to Charles Dickens – are buried or memorialised there.

Leap forward to the 18th century at Buckingham Palace, built in 1705 and turned into one of the royal family’s official residencies in 1837. Be there at 10:45am on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Sunday to watch the changing of the guard.

A stroll beside the Thames River takes you through a variety of historical sites. Among them is Tower Bridge, opened in 1894. Visit both towers and walk along the glass-floored walkway to discover how the bridge was built and see some spectacular views.

Last, but not least, drop by Trafalgar Square to see Nelson’s Column, which bears a statue of the legendary Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson. While you’re there, pop into the National Gallery to see Vincent Van Gogh’s Sunflowers and Paul Cezanne’s Bathers – among many other well-known artworks.

Five Iconic Day Trips by Car From London

Whether you want to spend a day diving into ancient history or see some of England’s most beautiful countryside, your London car rental can get you there.

The first cab off the rank is Stonehenge, a prehistoric stone monument so mysterious no one knows how it was built. While you’re in the area, drop into the nearby ancient towns of Salisbury and Winchester.

Alternatively, head to the Cotswolds for rolling hills, wildflower meadows, pretty villages and country manors.

Want to learn more about the royal family – or just see some stunning architecture? Take your London car hire to Windsor, one of the monarch’s many homes. It’s only 32 kilometres from the city, giving you plenty of time to see the castle and its stunning grounds.

Another unmissable trip is Bath, the only UNESCO World Heritage-listed city in the UK. Spend your day exploring ancient Roman baths, wandering among Georgian buildings and visiting the Jane Austen Centre.

And, to delve into the world of Shakespeare, take your London car rental on a spin to Stratford-upon-Avon, the pretty riverside village where the Bard was born and raised.

From London to Edinburgh: How to Road Trip in the UK

From the bustling cities of England to the wild highlands of Scotland, the UK offers some of the most diverse road trips in the world – and you don't have to travel far to see it all.

For beautiful coastal walks, windswept moors and delicious Devonshire teas, drive your London car rental to the southwest. Be sure to spend a couple of nights in the harbourside city of

on the way.

Keen to travel further? Pick up your London car rental and make your way north. One of the most scenic road trips is via the Lakes District, famous for its idyllic scenery and many poets.

From there, it’s not far too Scotland. Visit

for magical castles, cobbled streets and a rich arts scene. Meanwhile, in
Glasgow
, you’ll find a 13th century cathedral, a tram depot transformed into an art gallery and some legendary whiskey distilleries.

And do consider sailing your London car hire over the sea to Northern Ireland to visit

. Travel through the story of the world’s most infamous ship at Titanic Belfast, wander through the iconic City Hall and meet dinosaurs in the Ulster Museum.

Having never rented a vehicle in my 55yrs I was very nervous And apprehensive to say the least. Having arrived on the day I was greeted by Andrew who must be said made me so relaxed and made the whole experience fun and quick. As we chatted and had a laugh he was professional and curtious the whole time. As I was moving after 22yrs I am so grateful he allowed the extra time as I would never have moved in the original time slot I had booked the van for. The guys in the yard were funny and also a joy to chat with so THANK YOU ANDREW and the team for a great experience which I will make sure to always use you folks and will recommend you to all those I know. Great bunch of folks to hire from to anyone who reads this. UPDATE TO FOLLOW THIS AS LOOKS LIKE SIXT WILL TRY DIRTY TRICKS AND BE DISHONEST AFTERWARDS
