KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Finchley

  • A Finchley car hire provides you with the freedom to explore Finchley and its surrounding areas at your own pace. For example, Hampstead Heath is only 4 miles (6.4 km) away when travelling by road, and Alexandra Palace is a short drive away at 2.5 miles (4 km). You can plan your itinerary according to your preferences and don't have to rely on public transportation schedules. Plus, driving a car hire in Finchley can save time by avoiding crowded public transport and lengthy waits.
  • For your Finchley car hire, you can always start your journey from one of the London airports, if you are flying into London. London Heathrow Airport (LHR) is the closest option, located approximately 19 miles (31 km) west of Finchley. Here, you can find the car hire desks of major companies located in terminals 1,2,3 and 4 on the Ground Floor, such as Budget, AVIS, Sixt and Hertz. The drive from London Heathrow Airport to Finchley takes around 35 minutes, depending on the traffic.
  • Keep in mind that if you decide to drive your car hire in Finchley to Central London, it's important to be aware of the Congestion Charge Zone. This charge applies to a significant portion of Central London, encompassing areas such as Westminster, the City of London, sections of Camden and Islington, and neighbouring boroughs. If you enter one of these areas with your car hire, you'll have to pay a daily fee of £15.
  • When driving your car hire in Finchley, it is important to consider the significant traffic jams when planning your day. During the peak rush hours in London of 7.30 to 09:00 and 17:00 to 19:00, you can expect long delays on the roads. Moreover, some roads in Finchley can be narrow, especially in residential areas. Combined with the volume of traffic, this can make manoeuvring and parking more difficult. It's crucial to stay alert, be patient and follow traffic rules to navigate safely.
  • Book your car hire in Finchley at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
