KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Barnet

  • Barnet is one of the outer boroughs of London, and as comprehensive as the city's public transport is, you'll still enjoy some advantages of choosing car hire in Barnet. You won't be tied to bus or train schedules, and you can drive directly to where you want to go, rather than having to walk to where you're going from the nearest bus stop or train station. The quaint Mill Hill pond and village makes for a lovely day's outing. Drive out to Parkside Farm where you can pick your own strawberries, blackcurrants, and raspberries.
  • If you're flying in to London, the nearest airport to Barnet is London City Airport (LCY). Here you can conveniently organise your car hire in Barnet. The airport's hire car centre is located in its own building outside the main terminal. It's about a 400-yard walk to get there, just on the other side of the airport's main car park. Turn left when you exit the terminal building and continue walking along the covered walkway.
  • Driving in this busy London borough can feel strange if you're not familiar with the city's peculiarities. Barnet has many box junctions, marked out by yellow grids, which you're not allowed to stop in, so make sure you have the time and space to drive through these, in order not to block the junction. Barnet is also a low emissions zone, but there are four roads exempt from charges: the A411 (Barnet Road), the A1000 (Great North Road), the A1081 (St Albans Road) and Galley Lane.
  • Barnet's traffic can get really busy at any time of the day, so it's a good idea to use a traffic warning app in the town, if you opt for car hire in Barnet. You can avoid congestion on the main A1 by taking alternative routes. Rather, turn off onto Barnet Road and then turn into Galley Lane. You're prohibited from driving in bus lanes, and other restrictions on road use are always well signposted, so look out for different instructions displayed on electronic signs. Finally, Barnet is densely populated, so watch out for pedestrians all the time.

You should also feel free to hire an electric or hybrid car, as there are plenty of EV charging stations in the borough.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver

Some Barnet car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Barnet.
