KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Benfleet

  • Driving a car hire in Benfleet offers you the convenience of having your own transportation. You can explore Benfleet and its surrounding areas at your own pace without relying on public transportation schedules. Having a hired car gives you the freedom to travel wherever and whenever you want. Plus, while Benfleet has some public transportation options, having a car provides easier access to various destinations within and outside the town, such as Hadleigh Castle and Leigh-on-Sea.
  • If you are travelling by air into the region, then the closest international airport to Benfleet is London Heathrow Airport (LHR). It is located approximately 45 miles (72 km) west of Benfleet, in the borough of Hillingdon, London. At London Heathrow Airport, you have a wide selection of car hire companies such as AVIS, Hertz, and Europcar. Additionally, instead of going through a car hire company, you also have the option to hire a car from a private individual. To find these private hire options, look for listings labelled as Car Share on the KAYAK website.
  • When driving your car hire in Benfleet, it is important to be aware, that like any other area, it can experience traffic congestion, especially during peak hours between 07:00 and 10:00 and from 16:00 to 19:00. Additionally, road conditions, such as potholes or construction zones, can pose challenges. Therefore, stay alert, follow traffic rules, and be prepared for unexpected delays. Also be aware of the narrow roads or limited parking spaces in some areas of Benfleet, particularly in older or densely populated parts of town.
  • When driving your car hire in Benfleet you should note that it may have busy pedestrian areas, especially near schools, shopping centres, and residential areas. Therefore, it's crucial to stay attentive and yield to pedestrians when necessary, especially at marked crossings. You will also have to be mindful of cyclists as Benfleet promotes cycling, and you may encounter cyclists sharing the road. Make sure that you always give them ample space when overtaking, and be cautious when turning at intersections.
