KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in West Wickham

  • Opting for car hire in West Wickham gives you the chance to explore London and the surrounding Kent countryside fully on your own time. Hiring a car will give you access to nearby landmarks and tourist attractions, like Lullingstone Country Park and Hever Castle. Although you can reach these attractions on public transport, you will generally have to make several changes during your journey, which can extend your travel time and leave you waiting for onward connections. Choosing car hire in West Wickham will also reduce your travel time compared with public transport if you want to visit coastal towns, like Eastbourne, Brighton, and New Romney.
  • Travellers who choose West Wickham car hire can pick up their vehicle from London airports to save themselves time when they arrive. If you’re flying into West Wickham, your nearest London airports for car hire are London Heathrow (LHR), London Gatwick (LGW), and London Stansted (STN). If you are travelling via Heathrow, you will find car hire desks inside the main Arrivals Halls at all four terminals. Meanwhile, at London Gatwick, the car hire centre is located at the North Terminal, beside the bus stops. For passengers at the South Terminal, a shuttle to the North Terminal departs regularly from Level 20 Arrivals. At Stansted, you can take a shuttle bus from the terminal forecourt to the car hire centre.
  • The area around West Wickham is largely made up of country roads and motorways, meaning that you can expect drivers to travel at the speed limit most of the time. British drivers are not aggressive, but you should try to keep up with traffic and only enter the fast right-hand lane on the motorway if you intend to overtake. If you’re driving in rural areas, you may find that lots of roads have high hedges, giving you poor visibility around bends. Even on spacious single-carriageways like this, it is a good idea to slow down at bends in case you meet farm vehicles or cyclists unexpectedly.
  • The busiest road near West Wickham is the M25 motorway, which acts as a ring road around London. You will also find extremely heavy traffic if you drive into central London. If you want to avoid traffic congestion, you should not travel on motorways around London or travel in London itself during rush hour. Rush hour falls between 07:00-09:00 and 17:00-19:00. If you want to drive south of West Wickham without traffic delays, stick to the smaller country roads. This may make your route slightly longer, but you will often save time by avoiding congestion.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in West Wickham?

    Although West Wickham is a suburb of London, parking in the area can still be quite tight, especially on streets where roadside parking is allowed. This means that a small vehicle may be an ideal choice for your West Wickham car hire, as it will let you squeeze through crowded areas and move into traffic more easily. However, if you are planning to venture out of the city into the surrounding rural areas, a standard-size or large vehicle will give you more power and speed for driving on country roads.

  • What is the speed limit in West Wickham?

    Speed limit signs in the UK are displayed in mph, and you should watch out for local signs, especially in built-up areas where the speed limit may change frequently. Generally, in urban areas, the speed limit is 30 mph, while on single-carriageways and rural roads, it is 60 mph. On motorways, the limit goes up to 70 mph. Speeding fines in the UK range from £100-2,500.

  • Where are the best places to park in West Wickham?

    Car hire in West Wickham is an excellent option because the area has quite a lot of free parking spaces compared with other urban regions. If you do have to pay for parking in West Wickham, a ticket will usually cost around £2-3 for a short stay. West Wickham also has a good range of 24h car parks, so you can securely leave your hire car overnight. Other car parks around the area are usually open from the early morning to the late afternoon.
