KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Watford

  • With a car hire in Watford, you’re well on your way to exploring the charms of this market town and borough just north of London. Cassiobury Park and award-winning Oxhey Park are two of the attractions situated within 3 miles of Watford Junction Railway Station downtown, but with so many sights on offer you’re spoilt for choice. If you are into history, check out the medieval town of Aylesbury about 24 miles due west along the A41.
  • Making a reservation for your car hire in Watford at London Heathrow Airport (LHR) offers the advantage of choosing between providers who offer 24-hr pick up and return of your vehicle, which is a convenient advantage. Most of them also offer extras like additional mileage, child seats or additional drivers, which you might need according to your travel plans. You can find a range of hired car companies with offices at all terminals (2 to 5) and transport is provided for pick-up locations beyond walking distance.
  • Obtaining a sat nav can make the difference between getting lost and safely navigating your way around Watford town centre and destinations further afield. Jaywalking pedestrians are uncommon but it’s useful to know where cycling and bus lanes are located so you avoid accidents and avoidable fines whenever possible. In unfamiliar surroundings always err on the side of caution, especially when you’re out on the road at night and observe all posted speed limit signs.
  • An extensive network of primary roads, such as the M4, M25 and M40, and secondary roads, such as the A1, A41 and the A414, pass through and around this borough so traffic congestion during morning and evening rush hour periods should be expected in and out of the town. Vehicles along the M1 to and from London may complicate matters so a sat nav becomes instrumental for suggesting alternate routes to avoid bottlenecks and busy parts of the town.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Watford for $27 or less
  • Small rental cars in Watford are around 83% cheaper than other car types, on average

    Watford Kings and Watford Palace are two huge public parking spots within a 10 minutes’ walk of the town centre where you can leave your Watford car hire for £2 per 2h stay. You may prefer the one at Church on Exchange Place, which allows for convenient payment by cash or card.
