KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Eastleigh

  • Eastleigh is a town situated in the Hampshire countryside just north of Southampton. Due to its size there is limited public transportation available, which creates the perfect situation for car hire in Eastleigh. With your own vehicle, you won’t have to bother with inconvenient timetables or inflexible schedules. Plus, the presence of two national motorways in this area makes driving in and out of the town relatively easy. The seaside town of Brighton lies some 64 miles east via the M27, while London is about 76 miles north along the M3.
  • The drive from Southampton Airport is a mere 2 miles by car from downtown Eastleigh, making this the ideal location for your flight to arrive and the most convenient place to pick up car hire in Eastleigh. A good selection of providers including local firms (Easirent or Sunnycars) and international companies (Enterprise and Europcar) are on hand to serve you. The car hire centre at the airport is located across the street from the main terminal exit.
  • Eastleigh is a small town and while rush hour congestion may exist during the peak morning and evening hours, it should be light to moderate compared to other places. That said, the M3 motorway running through the town is the key conduit for inbound and outbound traffic, and mostly likely to experience reduced flow. The A335 runs through the administrative and retail heart of the town and is also a key area for tie-ups during these periods. You should expect moderate pedestrian and cycle traffic on roads and streets with a corresponding increase during the summer from June to August.
  • Morning rush hours last from about 07:00 to 08:30, while the evening peak hours are from about 18:00 to 20:00. The A335 roundabout near the Eastleigh Borough Council building will be busy during the morning hours, while the M3/Leigh Road exchange will be active during both periods. Expect intermittent slow-downs along the A335 leading to/from Southampton Airport at various times, while pedestrian traffic will be highest in the town centre from 13:00 to 15:00 due to retail activity.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Eastleigh for £33 or less
  • Luxury hire cars in Eastleigh are around 78% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about car hire in Eastleigh

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Eastleigh?

    A small economy car or compact is recommended for Eastleigh car hire, but these classes of automobile may not offer either the storage space or the passenger capacity that you need.

  • Where are the best places to park in Eastleigh?

    Eastleigh Borough Council operates on-street, short-stay and long-stay parking (in multi-storey car parks) around the town precincts.

Short-stay parking has a maximum limit of 2h and operates on a pay-and-display system with a tariff of about £1.60 per hour.
