You're pretty much free to make your own Hornchurch car hire choice, as there aren't any particular hazards or conditions to restrict you. As in any bustling town, and especially one so close to Central London, it pays to get a compact and fuel-efficient city car, hatchback or saloon. This will aid you in negotiating traffic and provide better economy. Families can scale up to an SUV or MPV. The roads outside the town are also good, so there's no need for a powerful all-terrain vehicle, although you might want to consider a 4WD if you're going to be driving around in winter.

The speed limits in Hornchurch are the same as in all other regions of England. In urban, residential and built-up areas you can drive at up to 30 mph, but look out for signs that reduce this to 20 mph on certain stretches. If you're taking a drive to explore the countryside, you can travel at up to 60 mph on single carriageways that don't have a central divider. On two-lane carriageways and motorways, the speed limit rises to 70 mph. You're encouraged to observe these limits, as there are lots of speed cameras, with fines starting at £60, along with three penalty points on your driving licence.

There are many car parks in Hornchurch, most of which charge a fee. You will be able to find free parking here and there, such as at Upminster New Windmill Hall, at 104 Dagenham Road and at Harrow Lodge Park. You can park there for up to 2 hours. Paid parking starts at around £2.50 for the first 2 hours. Look for those on Appleton Way or Keswick Avenue. The Fentiman Way car park and the one in Dorrington Gardens will cost the same.
