The car was new and fully equipped with electronic devices. It could fit just the right amount of luggage for 2-3 pieces. The staff were also willing to help. I received a notification email before picking up and returning the car, which contained a detailed address guide. It was easy to find the car as long as I followed the instructions. Having a car is very convenient and saves a lot of time.

The VW Tiguan is the latest model, however, I could not find the transmission control until searching it for 19 minutes. The staff handed over the key to me and left and closed the pick up store. It was quite stressful due to no instructions were given. Counter staff was great but not the person who handed over the keys to me.

Service from Hertz is absolutely amazing. The deal from trip.com is unbeatable. The pick up location is easy to find. The staff are very helpful. The vehicle given to us was great and we were lucky enough to get an upgrade. There were no hidden charges. Return of the car was smooth and made our journey a lot more enjoyable and relaxed.

The car was in such great condition, almost like new! I was grateful for the free upgrade upon delivery. However, they were very pushy about insurance on site. I had to argue with them until they recommended the insurance they offered. I didn't give up until the very end, but I wasted about 30 minutes of my time in the process, which was a bit disappointing.

London Car Rental Guide: What to Know Before You Book
London is a vibrant city with rich culture, history, and art. Millions of people from around the world travel to experience its popular attractions, iconic landmarks, and diverse neighborhoods. If you are planning your visit too, this guide gives you the best tips for renting a car in London.
Why you need to rent a car when traveling in London
While London has widespread public transport, traveling through the crowded routes or making multiple connections can sometimes be time-consuming.
Renting a car allows you to access places on your own schedule and at your own speed. You get to avoid crowded public areas and enjoy the city comfortably.
How to find the right car rental company in London
Getting a good, reliable rental company can be a challenge. But, platforms like Trip.com connect you to different brands and provide information on car availability and pricing. Using them helps you get a fair deal without moving from one website to another.
As you check through different companies, compare their pricing, insurance options, and pick-up/drop-off locations. Do they offer free cancellation? How is their customer support? Reading customer reviews and ratings can give you answers to some of these questions.
What is the best time to rent a car in London?
When it comes to renting a car, you have an important decision to make. Do you book your car early in advance or wait until the last minute?
The answer is simple – book your car early so you can have enough time to select the right company and get the best offer. Consider doing this 1-3 months in advance to avoid the pressure and stress of last-minute planning.
All the documents you require to rent a car in London
You will need a valid driving license, a credit card in the driver's name, and a passport or national ID for identification. If you are visiting from a non-EU country, you will require an International Driving Permit (IDP).
You also need to present proof that you booked the car. Some rental companies may ask for documents to verify your address. This could be a bank statement or a utility bill. Double-check the minimum age requirement, which can vary depending on the rental company.
Best tips for driving in London
Driving in London requires patience and attention to detail, especially within the city. The first thing you need to do is know the local traffic laws and drive on the left lane.
If you are driving for the first time in the London streets, check out for the bus-only zones and busy one-way roads. Consider getting a good navigation software or GPS to help you escape the traffic.
Child safety requirements you must know about in London
London has strict child safety laws requiring children below 12 years or 135 cm to use a child car seat. The car seats must also comply with EU legislation and standards for weight and height, often marked with a circled capital “E.”
Only children taller than 125 cm or weighing over 22 kg can use backless booster seats. If your child is below 15 months, the law requires you to use a rear-facing car seat.
Why you should choose Trip.com for renting a car
Trip.com offers an all-in-one solution for travelers seeking convenience and reliability. The free cancellation on most bookings and an easy-to-use platform make car renting hassle-free. The platform provides responsive customer support that ensures you get help whenever needed during your rental period.
