Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Heathrow Airport (LHR)?
You can, and there's plenty of choice. After you touch down and collect your luggage, make a beeline for the rental car centre in Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5. Here you can make a booking with trusted companies like Alamo, National and Avis. If you're after more options, see what's on offer with Budget and Hertz.
What happens if I need to cancel my Croydon car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours prior to collecting the car, the majority of prepaid bookings qualify for a refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to familiarise yourself with your policy. Read through your itinerary for the details or click through to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.

Ideal for short trips and squeezing into tight parking spaces, minis are the most in-demand car type in Croydon. With excellent fuel economy, you'll save on gas as you drive around the city's biggest and best sights. These spirited little rides aren't the only rental options available though. Compact, full-size, premium ... You name it, chances are we'll have it.

  • Oxford is around 88 kilometres from Croydon. Renowned sights like Christ Church College deserve to be at the top of your list here.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Croydon?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Croydon. While some providers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, contracts will come with additional fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and the cost, before booking your wheels. Suppliers also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Croydon?
While rules may differ between car rental outlets in Croydon, the basics are a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Croydon?
In Croydon, you'll need to drive on the left. This alone can be daunting, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. For a smooth and safe journey, take things slow to begin with and allow yourself ample time to get to your destination.

Where can I find a Croydon car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Croydon providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
