Never been to London before or heading into other parts of the UK where you’ll need some help with navigation? Be sure to add a sat nav to your car hire package, so you'll never get lost.
Got children on board? Make sure they’re safe and comfortable by booking a baby seat for any kid aged up to four, and a booster for anyone up to seven.
Meanwhile, for any road tripping that’ll take you above the snowline, you’ll need a Snow Pass. So, if you’re considering climbing Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, be sure to book yours.
And, if you think you’ll be short on time on the way home, book prepaid fuel, so you don’t have to stress about finding a petrol station.

You’ll no doubt be following a hectic schedule during your trip to the UK – whether you’re packing in as many sights as you can or attending wall-to-wall business meetings.
For that reason, we provide a variety of locations where you can pick up and/or drop off your London Heathrow car rental.
In London itself, these include the major transportation hubs of Victoria Station and St. Pancras/Kings Cross. We’re also at Battersea/Vauxhall, Hilton Park Lane Shepherd’s Bush and Hammersmith, among other spots.
Plus, we’re at London’s other three airports: Gatwick, Luton or Stansted. So, you can fly into one and out of another without any hassle.
Beyond the capital, come see us in Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland, and in Belfast in Northern Ireland.
London is a city with great transport connections, but, to explore it thoroughly, you can ’t beat travelling by hire car.
A drive over Tower Bridge will guarantee a superb view of the iconic London skyline, including the Shard (the tallest building in the UK) and Canary Wharf.
Once you’re done there, take a spin to some of the bigger parks in London for a picnic, such as Richmond Park, where you can relax and watch deer freely roam.
And, if you want to drive further afield in your SIXT car, head out south to Brighton, where you can enjoy a day on the beach at this classic seaside town.
London is the world’s theatre capital. Whether you want to catch a blockbuster musical or an indie play by an upcoming writer, there’s a show for you.
To put yourself in the same room as some of the finest actors in the UK, book a seat at The Old Vic, near Waterloo Station. Shows range from classics like A Christmas Carol to premieres of new plays.
For dance, the place to go is Sadler’s Wells in Angel. The program focuses on original performances – both local and international.
If you’re visiting during the warmer months, be sure to get a ticket to the Globe. It’s a replica of the theatre where Shakespeare’s plays were first performed.
Another gorgeous outdoor spot is Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, which hosts theatre, as well as live music, comedy and film. Get there early to explore the park’s 140 hectares of gardens, lakes and maybe even the London Zoo.
Finally, no visit to London is complete without a musical on the West End. Of the many theatres to choose from, the Apollo – opened in 1901 – is one of the most beautiful.
Your London Heathrow car rental is your key to some extraordinary natural sights. If you’re a nature lover, then add these wonders to your itinerary.
If you’re heading north, make your first stop Dockey Wood, northwest of London. For a brief period in springtime, its floor transforms into a shimmering carpet of bluebells.
Keep going to reach Sherwood Forest (near Sheffield) to see the biggest oak tree in the United Kingdom. It’s around 1,000 years old, and, according to myth, was one of Robin Hood’s favourite spots to sleep.
Then, in the heart of the Durham Dales, is High Force Waterfall. Here, the River Trees plunges 21 metres into a 300-million-year-old gorge, surrounded by magical forest.
If, instead, you’re taking your London Heathrow car hire to the southwest, spend a few days among the Isles of Scilly. This archipelago of more than 140 islands off the Cornwall coast is a refuge of white sandy beaches, clear blue waters and unspoiled landscapes.
On the way back, cruise along the World Heritage-listed Jurassic Coast, a 150-kilometre-long stretch of extraordinary rock formations and fossils, between Devon and Dorset.
With your London Heathrow car rental at your fingertips, all of Europe is at your feet – without the hassle of booking flights and waiting around for hours in airports.
The first step is getting from London Heathrow to the continent. If France is on your itinerary, the quickest option is probably via the Eurotunnel. The trip from London to Paris takes around six hours (assuming you don’t hit any major delays). If you’re taking your London Heathrow car rental somewhere else, then you’ll have to catch a ferry. They travel from various spots in the UK to various European countries, including Spain, France and Denmark.
Once you’re in Europe, it’s a matter of deciding where to go. You’ll be spoilt for choice. For incredible views – from the Alps to the Amalfi Coast – head through France, Switzerland and Italy. For fairy tale landscapes, quaint villages and musical history, plan a route through Germany and Austria. And, for spectacular wilderness and world-famous architecture, make tracks for Norway and Sweden.
