KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in West Wickham
- Opting for car hire in West Wickham gives you the chance to explore London and the surrounding Kent countryside fully on your own time. Hiring a car will give you access to nearby landmarks and tourist attractions, like Lullingstone Country Park and Hever Castle. Although you can reach these attractions on public transport, you will generally have to make several changes during your journey, which can extend your travel time and leave you waiting for onward connections. Choosing car hire in West Wickham will also reduce your travel time compared with public transport if you want to visit coastal towns, like Eastbourne, Brighton, and New Romney.
- Travellers who choose West Wickham car hire can pick up their vehicle from London airports to save themselves time when they arrive. If you’re flying into West Wickham, your nearest London airports for car hire are London Heathrow (LHR), London Gatwick (LGW), and London Stansted (STN). If you are travelling via Heathrow, you will find car hire desks inside the main Arrivals Halls at all four terminals. Meanwhile, at London Gatwick, the car hire centre is located at the North Terminal, beside the bus stops. For passengers at the South Terminal, a shuttle to the North Terminal departs regularly from Level 20 Arrivals. At Stansted, you can take a shuttle bus from the terminal forecourt to the car hire centre.
- The area around West Wickham is largely made up of country roads and motorways, meaning that you can expect drivers to travel at the speed limit most of the time. British drivers are not aggressive, but you should try to keep up with traffic and only enter the fast right-hand lane on the motorway if you intend to overtake. If you’re driving in rural areas, you may find that lots of roads have high hedges, giving you poor visibility around bends. Even on spacious single-carriageways like this, it is a good idea to slow down at bends in case you meet farm vehicles or cyclists unexpectedly.
- The busiest road near West Wickham is the M25 motorway, which acts as a ring road around London. You will also find extremely heavy traffic if you drive into central London. If you want to avoid traffic congestion, you should not travel on motorways around London or travel in London itself during rush hour. Rush hour falls between 07:00-09:00 and 17:00-19:00. If you want to drive south of West Wickham without traffic delays, stick to the smaller country roads. This may make your route slightly longer, but you will often save time by avoiding congestion.
