KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Rainham

  • Car hire in Rainham allows you a level of freedom and flexibility that you don’t get with alternative modes of transport. You can travel direct to your destination, as well as depart at a time suitable for you, rather than waiting on bus or train schedules. For example, you can drive to Canvey Island in about 35min. This journey by public transport takes about 1h 30min and requires multiple changes along the way.
  • London City Airport (LCY) is one of the nearest airports to this London district. With a wide range of car hire companies available, it’s a great place to collect your vehicle from. After landing and passing through immigration, you will locate the agencies with ease. For example, Avis can be found in the airport terminal, whilst Green Motion is a short shuttle trip away. Your Rainham car hire provider will take you to your vehicle once you have confirmed your identity, paid and also completed the required documentation.
  • Using a car hire in Rainham, you’ll see it’s a busy district in London. Driving in London tends to be quite aggressive and impatient, with drivers getting frustrated with queues and traffic jams. It’s important you drive confidently and adhere to the road laws at all times. Keep an eye out for pedestrians crossing the road, as jaywalking is not illegal in London. You will also notice a lot of bikes on the road, so you need to remain vigilant at all times and constantly consult your mirrors.
  • When driving a Rainham hire car, you will see there is a lot of traffic, especially during rush hour when locals are heading to and from work. This is normally from about 8:00 to 9:00 and around 17:00 to 18:00. Drivers that aren’t confident on busy roads should avoid these times. The A13 is one of the busiest roads in the district, as it passes through the heart of Rainham. You can try another road, such as the A1306, which should have less traffic.

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

    If you want a cheap car hire in Rainham, it’s a good idea to opt for a compact vehicle. These are well suited to busy roads, where you don’t have much room to manoeuvre. You’ll also find that parking is easier in a smaller vehicle. If you want to explore the English countryside, then a larger vehicle is better suited. For example, an SUV is equipped with 4x4 technologies that provide superior grip and power on uneven and steep roads.

  • What’s the speed limit in Rainham?

    It’s vital that you adhere to the road laws if you’re driving in London, otherwise you’ll be prosecuted by the police. Staying within the speed limits also reduces the chances of you being involved in an accident. If you’re caught by a speed camera, your car hire agency will automatically fine you and pass the relevant information over to the authorities. In Rainham and other urban zones, you can drive at 30 mph. Outside schools and hospitals, this drops to 20 mph. On countryside roads, the national speed limit is 60 mph, whereas on motorways it’s 70 mph.

    You will find there are lots of places to park in Rainham, which makes it a great place for those with a hire car.

Alternatively, you can park at Ingrebourne Hill Car Park on Rainham Road, which is a free car park. This gets very busy, especially on weekends, so it’s advised to arrive early.
