Car Hire At Gatwick Airport (LGW)

Our fleet is composed of good quality, sturdy vehicles, which are sure to offer an enhanced travel experience. We offer makes and models such as the Vauxhall Astra, Ford Focus or Toyota Aygo if you are in need of a small or compact car. For small families or those in need for more space, larger cars, such as the Vauxhall Insignia or Skoda Octavia, are good picks. Larger groups should consider our range of people-carriers, which includes the seven-seater SEAT Alhambra and the nine-seater Ford Transit.

Gatwick Airport has a number of designer shops within the two terminal buildings, so filling your luggage with duty-free shopping is not a challenge. For a bit of history, hope over to the Beehive, the original terminal building on the south side of the airport. Opened in 1936, it didn't last long, as the expansion of the airport in the 1950s required a new, larger terminal. Nonetheless, it was an important part of Gatwick's history, as well as global aviation history, as it was the first fully integrated airport building. While no longer needed for the running of the airport, it has kept its local importance, now being used as office space.

On a map, the British Isles look small and easily covered, but this is quite misleading. Each square mile of countryside seems to have much more packed into it than would seem possible, and there is something interesting, beautiful or historically noteworthy around almost every corner! For instance, within just half an hour’s drive from Gatwick airport, you could be in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Even closer, a mere five minutes' drive away, is the beautiful historic town of Horley. A little further afield, but still comfortably less than an hour’s drive away, is Chessington Park World of Adventure. Finally, and arguably, having saved the best for last: London. Gatwick is just over an hour’s drive away from the United Kingdom's capital city.

Gatwick, the second busiest airport in the UK, consists of two terminals – the North and South Terminals. The South Terminal is responsible for most domestic and international flights, and most airlines fly from here. Airlines flying from the North Terminal include British Airways, some easyJet flights, Emirates and Aeroflot. Travelling between the two terminals is quick and easy with the free shuttle service, and Enterprise has a kiosk in both locations for your convenience.

Being a major airport, Gatwick has multiple car parks, both short and long stay. The best prices for these can be found online, especially when booked in advance. Traffic around the airport can be an issue during peak hours, as well as the M25 around London, so plan some extra time in just in case, in addition to getting the latest traffic information before you head off. Our friendly staff will be able to give you some great advice when you pick up your car.
