KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Waltham Cross

  • Waltham Cross sits on the outer edges of London, and while many people prefer to avoid driving in London itself, getting car hire in Waltham Cross can be a fantastic way to explore the area. For example, the lovely region of Kent is roughly an hour to 1 h 30 min away. From there, you can head to the seaside or visit the famous Canterbury Cathedral. If you plan on visiting Central London, a car may be useful for getting to the bus stop or train station from your accommodation. There are also a number of nearby towns in Hertfordshire, as well as the main city of St Albans.
  • London Stansted Airport (STN) is the closest airport to Waltham Cross. The Car Hire Village is close to the airport, and there are free shuttle buses running every 10 minutes. Luton Airport's (LTN) car hire centre is also accessed by shuttle bus (it departs from Bay C), and the car hire centre at London City Airport (LCY) is just a short walk from the terminal. If you land at London Heathrow Airport (LHR), you can find car hire desks at every terminal. When you land at London Gatwick Airport (LGW), most companies have desks in the North and South Terminals, in their Arrivals Hall.
  • Keep an eye out for yellow box junctions when driving in Waltham Cross' borough of Hertfordshire. If you pull out into the junction without a clear exit and end up stuck, blocking traffic, you can be subject to fines. While these fines used to be unique to Central London, they can now be enforced in Hertfordshire. There are often cameras set up at these junctions, so stay patient and avoid the fine.
  • The biggest difficulty you might face when using car hire in Waltham Cross will be contending with traffic if you drive into Central London. Avoid peak hours (07:30-09:00 and 17:00 to 19:00) at all costs, especially the A406, the A24 and the A10. If you have specific activities in London that require a car, consider planning them for a weekend morning, when the traffic heading into the city is usually quieter. Parking will also be tricky, so you may want to consider pre-booking a parking spot close to your activities.
