KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Borehamwood

  • When visiting trendy Borehamwood in Hertfordshire, you will find yourself perfectly located between the fresh air of the countryside and the bustling energy of London. Car hire in Borehamwood gives you the opportunity to replace long public commutes for comfort and convenience. Jump on the A1 highway for quick access to London, or zip around the local Borehamwood sites and attractions such as nature trails, parks, museums, the Elstree Studios and much more.
  • As Borehamwood is so closely located to several London-serving airports, you will find several convenient options. However, London Heathrow Airport (LHR) is the closest at just 14 miles away. The car hire desks are based at Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 and include global names such as Europcar, Hertz, SIXT, Budget and Avis. Most of the car hire companies will send a shuttle to collect you if you are landing at a different terminal.
  • A cheap car hire in Borehamwood is a great way to get around and driving in the town should pose no real hassles. Roads are narrow in some areas, like most older UK towns, but the area is surrounded by larger highways, which are easy and quick to get to. These include the A1 leading onto the M1 and the M25. If you understand the nature of the roundabout, you will find driving a cinch, as many of the roads use these as a standard way to slow traffic flow.
  • The most difficult part of driving your Borehamwood car hire will be during the winter months, when snow hits the UK and roads become slippery with black ice or sleet. While not usually severe enough to hire snow chains, it is advisable to drop your speed and use your headlights. The upsurge in traffic usually takes place when schools come out around 15:00, and again at rush hour from as early as 17:00. Morning rush hour is between 6:00 and 9:00. In general, the town does not face too much congestion and a simple GPS hire can help you avoid backlogs on the roads.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Borehamwood for £14 or less
  • Small hire cars in Borehamwood are around 73% cheaper than other car types, on average
