KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Mitcham

  • Car hire in Mitcham makes your onwards journey more flexible, as you aren’t reliant on public transport departing on time. It also enables you to travel direct to your destination, so you don’t need to transfer during your trip. For example, if you want to travel to Woking, you can get there by car in about 40min. Whilst the journey by train is slightly quicker, it’s not direct and requires a change at Clapham Junction.
  • London Heathrow Airport (LHR) is one of the closest terminals to Mitcham. With there being a range of car hire agencies to pick from, you’ll be able to find the perfect vehicle for your journey. After passing through border control and collecting your luggage, it’s easy to locate the car hire agencies. For example, Sur Price can be found inside the airport terminal, whilst you can catch a free shuttle bus to Green Motion. You will need to show your valid ID, pay, and complete some paperwork before your Mitcham car hire provider will take you to your vehicle.
  • Using a car hire in Mitcham, you’ll see that it’s a busy district in South London. Due to the amount of traffic on the roads in London, you’ll find drivers are impatient and often aggressive when driving. So, it’s important that you drive with confidence and follow the road laws. You should be aware that as there is no jaywalking rule in the UK, so pedestrians can cross the road wherever they please. It’s also vital to regularly check your mirrors, as there are lots of cyclists in the city.
  • When driving a Mitcham hire car, you will see that there’s a lot of traffic on the road, particularly during the morning and evening rush hour when locals commute to and from work. This tends to be from about 8:00 to 9:00 and approximately 17:00 to 18:00. If you’re not a confident driver, it’s recommended that you avoid these times on the road.
