KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Canterbury

There are also several beautiful gardens to explore in the city centre and around its outskirts. Car hire in Canterbury will allow you to discover the city's historic secrets and will provide you with the freedom you need to explore the city fully.
  • The closest airport to Canterbury is Southend Airport, which is positioned 26 miles away from the city. London Southend Airport is; therefore, the best place for Canterbury car hire, Europcar is the main car rental agency that directly operates out of London Southend Airport. There is another company called British Care Hire London Southend Airport. However, the remainder of the car rental companies with cars to rent on offer are in the heart of Canterbury. One of the more well-known ones is GR Cars.
  • Owing to Canterbury’s history, many of the streets around the area are adorable cobbled narrow streets. For anyone who is not used to these, it can be a little confusing. Rest assured, driving in these environments require you to follow the exact same rules as on any other road. It also means that you’ll more than likely be sharing the road with pedestrians and cyclists so you’ll have to drive slowly in heavily populated areas. These are a few things to keep in mind when looking at car hire in Canterbury.
  • If you’re exploring Canterbury’s city centre, you may want to park the car and walk. Navigating the narrow streets will be easier on foot, especially if you are not going far in your expedition. If you’re driving outside of the city you shouldn’t experience anything out of the ordinary when it comes to general driving etiquette. As with any English city, you need to take extra care when driving in the winter as the roads tend to get slippery when there is frost around.
