  • London City Airport is about 8.5 miles from the centre of the city. You can find a Budget branch located only a short walk from the terminal. To get there follow the ‘Car Rental’ signs that appear once you’ve gone through customs. To get a hire car in the U.K. you must be at least 21 years of age and have held your licence for at least 12 months. If you’re under 25 you’ll also be subject to a surcharge.

I paid upfront for the car hire. When I eventually got to the Budget hire at City Airport (including £25 taxi to get there) I was told that I could not hire a car - due to a previous driving disq (which has now expired but remains as note on license for an extra 2yts). - I was never asked about this during the hire process; - it has never stopped me hiring before (I hired a month ago, not from Budget); - I was not offered a refund WHAT IS THE POSITION THERE? - my weekend was ruined I could not get to where I was goingReviewed Jan 29 2024
