Heathrow Car Hire – What Are Your Options?

Are you planning to make a trip to the United Kingdom in the near future? If you plan to land at London-Heathrow airport, you will want to consider soliciting their Heathrow car hire services if you do not have any mode of transportation – or anyone who can pick you up at the airport.

There are two types of Heathrow car hire services available: chauffeur-driven cars and rental cars. If you're coming from somewhere like the United States and do not feel comfortable driving on the opposite side of the road, you may want to hire a chauffeur-driven car or a taxi, rather than a rental car. If, on the other hand, you feel perfectly comfortable driving, you may want to go with the rental option, as it will be cheaper – and provide a more permanent mode of transportation, which may come in handy if you need the car for several days for a business trip or for a vacation into the countryside.

Heathrow car hire services allow you to rent cars at four different terminals. This makes it radically easier for you to move your luggage to a rental center, check out with a car, and be on your way with your vacation, meeting, or wherever your destination happens to be.

There are currently six available Heathrow car hire services: Avis, National, Europcar, Car Hire Express, Car Hire Center, and Hertz.

All of these Heathrow car hire services allow you to pre-book rentals weeks in advance, ensuring you the rental car of your choice – and at a price you are willing to pay (most one-day rentals range from 100 to 200 euros). You can call or go to their sites to get a quote; and then book your car of choice.
