KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Kettering

  • When choosing your car hire in Kettering, you are adding freedom, flexibility and comfort to your travels. You can explore at your own pace and can avoid being delayed by public transport schedules. Kettering has picturesque surroundings that you can explore on your own and that some public transport won't have easy access to. If you are travelling for business, it is always easier to navigate your meeting schedule with your own car, so you are always punctual. Take a day trip to visit the medieval Rockingham Castle or the Wicksteed Family Amusement Park.
  • Depending on which major airport you are flying into when picking up your car hire in Kettering, you will find your chosen car hire company at all the main Arrivals terminals. Whether you are flying into London Heathrow Airport (LHR), Gatwick (LGW) or Stansted Airport (STN), you won't need to walk far to collect your keys and be directed to the car park. All the major car hire companies have presence at the airports and have options to hire luxury car and van options. At Heathrow Airport (LHR), the car hire counters can be found in the Arrivals hall of each terminal. Gatwick (LGW) car hire counters are located in the South Terminal, but if you arrive at the North Terminal, you can catch the Gatwick Airport Transport to the South Terminal. Stansted Airport (STN) has car hire counters in the main terminal at Arrivals.
  • When booking car hire in Kettering, driving in Kettering will be relatively stress-free. There is a well-developed road structure with main roads, local roads, and major highways like the A14 and A43 for outer city exploration. The roads are not overly congested, but during early morning and afternoon commutes, there will be some traffic to navigate. There are a lot of pedestrians and cyclists, so be mindful and alert.
  • When using your Kettering car hire and driving in the city, you should familiarise yourself with the rules of the road and how to navigate the many roundabouts. It can be stressful if you are not sure of how to use the roundabouts, but the main rule is that you need to give right of way to the traffic on the roundabout already and go with the flow. Try to avoid driving at peak traffic times early mornings 7:00 to 9:00 or afternoons after work from 16:30 to 18:30.
