Location information for London

The hustle and bustle of the UK's capital city, London is something you never tire of. Wherever you turn in London there is something else to see or do, and somewhere else to go, and the city has great transport links via its four airports and great roads that can be taken advantage of with London car hire.

If you're into the arts, London has a vast collection of galleries beginning with the iconic Tate Modern on the banks of the Thames, to the National Gallery and the futuristic White Cube in the East End; there is something to suit all artistic leanings.

London has a great tradition of wonderful museums, and the area of South Kensington is a great example of this with the Natural History Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Science Museum all within a stone's throw of each other. The British Museum is also world famous and has incredible exhibitions, and a great way to get across the city is by London car rental.

For great shopping, the central areas of Covent Garden, Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road will exhaust even the most dedicated shopper. Take a rest at one of the numerous little cafes around Covent Garden, or make your way into 'theatreland', off Piccadilly Circus, to catch a show.

For a taste of London's maritime history head to Greenwich where you can see the Time Line, the Royal Observatory, and the remains of the Cutty Sark. Stop off at a traditional pie and mash shop on your way home to discover the most hearty of traditional British food, all with the comfort and ease of a cheap London car hire.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Ecarz.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
