Situated on the outskirts of London, it is essential that a car is hired from Gatwick Airport. As one of the busiest airports in Britain, there is no way that you have a chance of catching a taxi before they’ve all disappeared with someone else leaping in before you. Many a time, you will walk out of the airport, see a taxi and decide to get it only to find that someone leaps in before you, leaving you stood with all your bags with no means of getting to the hotel. The lure of getting a black taxi cab is too great for some but; really, it’s not worth the trouble.

If, however, you decide to hire a car then all this hassle can be avoided. You don’t need to worry about being able to win the race to the taxi because you can sachet over to the car hire building and saunter out a few minutes later with the keys in hand ready to drive to your hotel in London. You no longer have to queue for hours before you can get the car because you can do it all online. The best part is that it will actually work out cheaper overall. Because Gatwick is so far from Central London, the taxi is likely to be very expensive. You’re then stranded with no other mode of transport. If, instead, you hire a car, not only do you have transport all week, you also only have to pay for petrol. Do yourself a favour and hire a car.
