KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Ashford

  • The town of Ashford, Kent, is located in arguably one of the most scenic counties in England. However, its limited public transport network creates a niche that car hire in Ashford, Kent, can fully exploit along streets within town precincts as well as on roads stretching across the entire county and miles beyond. The stretch of coastline from Folkestone (17 miles via the A20) through Dover (8 miles via B2011) onto Margate (22 miles on the A256) winds along the narrowest point of the English Channel and makes for a promising road trip.
  • If travelling to London Gatwick Airport (LGW), you can collect your car hire in Ashford, Kent, from one of the international providers like Sixt, Budget and Enterprise with offices at its Car Hire Centre. If you arrive at the South Terminal, you should make your way from domestic arrivals and follow directions to catch the shuttle to the North Tower. Your destination is on the Ground Floor next to the Tourist Office. North Tower arrivals will find the hire car area to the immediate left of the Arrivals Hall.
  • The proximity of the M20 to the town and its A2042 tributary that funnels traffic in and out of the downtown area are key for heavy traffic along certain stretches during the morning and evening rush hours. The stretch of A492 where it interchanges with the busier A28 near the Repton Park North district is another major area for traffic congestion. Expect significant foot and cycle traffic around school districts, on high streets as well as near tourist attractions and places of interest.
  • The morning rush period in Ashford, Kent, is usually defined from 07:00 to 09:00, and the worst time for evening traffic congestion is between 18:00 and 20:30. When travelling outbound or inbound on major roadways during these hours, add a bit of extra time to your schedule to account for any delays you might encounter. Also, be aware that the afternoon hours between 13:00 and 15:00 can be busy with shoppers and lunchtime traffic both vehicular and pedestrian.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Ashford for £27 or less
  • Book your car hire in Ashford at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
