When considering what type of car to rent in Ilford, take your budget, travel itinerary and number of passengers into consideration first, as the city itself shouldn’t require any specific kind of car to get around. With decent roads, you will do fine with a smart, small economy vehicle and you will probably find the fuel costs are better and parking easier too. If you are planning on taking on outlying areas that have steep hills then perhaps an SUV would suit you better and luxury car hire is nice for an impressionable ride with added power and pristine handling, but unnecessary if you are travelling on a budget.
