Top tips for renting a car in Berkshire

  • Hiring a car in Berkshire offers the freedom and convenience to explore this charming region at your own pace. Unlike dealing with public transport schedules and delays, having a car allows you to easily reach iconic landmarks like Windsor Castle, the stunning countryside of the Berkshire Downs, and the picturesque villages of Cookham and Bray. With Berkshire car hire, you can make the most of your time and discover the hidden gems of this region.
  • When travelling to nearby counties within England, such as Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, or Oxfordshire, there are generally no additional costs or documentation needed. However, crossing over into other countries, such as Wales or Scotland, may require additional permits or documentation. It's essential to check with the car hire agency in advance to ensure you have the necessary paperwork for a smooth border crossing experience.
  • In the UK, children under 135 cm in height or 12 years of age must use a suitable car seat while travelling in a vehicle. For parents travelling with small children, it is recommended to bring their car seats to ensure safety and compliance. Some car hire agencies in Berkshire may offer car seats for hire, but availability can vary, so it's advisable to check in advance and make arrangements if needed.
  • At Heathrow Airport (LHR), the car hire desks are in each terminal, making it easy to pick up your vehicle upon arrival. Terminal 5 even has its dedicated car hire building. To reach the hire desks, follow the signs or use the airport shuttle service, which operates between terminals. At Gatwick Airport (LGW), car hire offices are in the South Terminal, a short walk from the Arrivals area. The North Terminal also offers a shuttle service to the car hire desks.
