KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hayes

  • Situated to the west of London, close enough to enjoy everything the capital has to offer whilst far enough away to earn its own leafy tranquility, the town of Hayes is perfect for hiring a car. This historic location is conveniently located for seeing a number of nearby sites, with easy links to motorways or for catching a train or flight at a nearby train station or airport. Car hire in Hayes will give you the independence to go and visit places such as the London Motor Museum (2 miles away) or Northala Fields (6 miles away).
  • Hayes makes a great choice due to its proximity not only to the British capital city of London but also to Heathrow Airport, which sits just 4 miles to the south. It is a common choice of base for business people who are frequently travelling, as they can enjoy everything the city has to offer as well as convenient transport links. When arranging your Hayes car hire through KAYAK, it is always a good idea to take into account where you want to be before and after your trip, and how you plan get there. If travelling from Heathrow Airport, make note that car hire desks can be found in Arrivals in Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5.
  • Hayes is a reasonably quiet town, especially when compared with nearby London, so you can rest assured that driving around the area is stress-free and straightforward. Nevertheless, it is important to be aware of your surroundings at all times. Be careful when near the bustling Brunel University, for example, as the amount of students in attendance raises the number of pedestrians dramatically.
  • As a popular location for commuters, try to avoid driving at peak times such as between 7:00 and 9:00 or between 15:00 and 20:00. This will make your journey that bit easier, as you can skip the congestion that comes with rush hour and the school run. Also, Hayes enjoys close proximity to some of the country’s greatest sporting venues from the worlds of football, rugby and cricket alike. This means there is plenty to see in the area, but there is also the chance that you can get caught up in traffic if you haven’t checked the fixture list.
  • It is important to remember when travelling throughout the entire United Kingdom that drivers are legally obligated to drive on the left side of the road. This is something that can be initially confusing for new travellers visiting from overseas who are accustomed to driving on the right side. Using cheap car hire in Hayes with an automatic transmission can be a helpful way to overcome this problem, as it avoids the need to operate a manual transmission with the left hand, allowing you to explore Hayes with more ease and comfort – it is important to stay safe and be able to fully enjoy your hire car trip.
  • When hiring a car in Hayes, like the rest of the United Kingdom, it must be noted it is required by law for children to always use a child car seat until they reach the age of 12 or a height of 135 cm, whichever happens first. Any children who are older than 12 or are taller than 135 cm must instead wear a car seat belt at all times. When selecting a child car seat to fit into your car, you can consider your child's height or weight as a guide to make sure it is the optimum choice for both your child and car.
  • Across the entire area of England, Wales and Northern Ireland (the UK), the legal limit for alcohol consumption while driving is 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood or 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. This is very important to keep in mind when hiring a car, especially in consideration of your own personal road safety and that of the other drivers on the road. Any violations of these regulations are subject to severe legal consequences and fines in the United Kingdom. Enjoy your drive responsibly to avoid any possible problems.
  • Book your car hire in Hayes at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Hayes are around 43% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Hayes?

    Compacts are the most popular type of hire car for the area, allowing you to easily navigate around the urban streets and park up when necessary.

  • What’s the speed limit in Hayes?

    Generally speaking, the town centre has 30mph limits but there are many streets that enforce a 20mph speed limit, such as those that are heavily residential or close to school zones.

Terrible. Avoid at every cost. They claim you’ve damaged the car when you haven’t and take loads of money from your deposit. Read the guardian article about them. There is a class action against them. They should not be included on comparison websites as it reflects really badly on that website.

The rental counter experience was fine. The Citroen C3 will go on my list (with the Renault Clio) of cars to avoid. The rubbery, notchy transmission took all the fun out of driving.
