KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Ilford

  • With Ilford car hire you get instant access to this bustling part of London, and easy access to the beautiful countryside lying just beyond the UK’s busiest city. The A12 motorway is a well-maintained stretch opening up to the southern UK. Consider New Forest in Hampshire for a picturesque journey through incredible countryside, or pop in to Epping Forest with over 100 lakes, ponds and a wide variety of nature. If you choose to stay in Ilford you will have access to great entertainment spots, shopping and plenty of lively action.
  • With Ilford car hire you will have a variety of London-based airports from which to choose from, depending in which one you land at. Heathrow Airport, London City Airport, London Stansted Airport, Gatwick and Luton Airports all offer car hire, so check out your landing airport and book accordingly. Heathrow has the widest choice, including Avis, Virtuo, GREENMOTION, Easirent, SIXT, Hertz, keddy and many others. However, with London being the metropolis it is, you will find similar companies at the other airports too.
  • Driving your car hire in and around Ilford should provide you with a sense of freedom and present with nothing but opportunities. The city is very similar in terms of UK infrastructure in the sense that it discourages cars from entering the inner city. Roads are wide enough in the suburbs and as long as you obey basic rules of the road, you should have no problems with the law. Buckle up at all times, stay under the blood alcohol limit of 0.08% and ensure that you restrict mobile use during driving.
  • If you have never driven in the UK before and not experienced the roundabout system then you may have to get used to it before driving your car hire in Ilford. Roundabouts are standard in UK cities and encourage smoother traffic flow. London drivers are quite speedy at times, but are mostly law-abiding drivers. Apart from occasional bad weather in colder months leading to black ice or rain on the roads, driving in Ilford should be a breeze. Pedestrians always get priority so ensure you keep your eye out.
  • Book your rental car in Ilford at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini rental cars in Ilford are around 78% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Ilford?

    When considering what type of car to rent in Ilford, take your budget, travel itinerary and number of passengers into consideration first, as the city itself shouldn’t require any specific kind of car to get around. With decent roads, you will do fine with a smart, small economy vehicle and you will probably find the fuel costs are better and parking easier too. If you are planning on taking on outlying areas that have steep hills then perhaps an SUV would suit you better and luxury car hire is nice for an impressionable ride with added power and pristine handling, but unnecessary if you are travelling on a budget.

  • What’s the speed limit in Ilford?

    UK speed limits are definitely a road rule to be respected. Speed cameras and traffic police are quite frequent and you will be fined in an instant for disobeying this important law. The UK speed limit is fair at a very standardised 30mph (48 km) on urbanised roads, 60mph (97km) for larger main roads and 70mph (113km) on dual carriageways or motorways. Certain vehicles will be restricted to slower speeds, depending on the weight, but for Ilford car hire you will be driving within standard parameters.

  • Where are the best places to park in Ilford?

    When looking for somewhere to park your car hire in Ilford, you will find a good mix between street parking and paid parking spaces, which are usually all centred around the inner workings of the city. The on-street parking is usually maximum stay-controlled up to 2h, with only 30min being free. Look to large establishments for secure and covered parking such as CitiPark which is centrally-based, has excellent rates and is walking distance of all the local shops. Exchange Ilford Car Park is another good choice with a built-in car wash, good rates and easy accessibility.
