Compare London City Airport car hire

Close to the centre of the nation’s capital, London City Airport is a very convenient place to arrive in the UK. It takes, on average, just 15 minutes to get between plane and train, and the airport’s car hire providers give you easy access to the well-connected M25, A2 and A13.

London City (LCY) is the only international airport in the heart of London, making it easy to get almost anywhere in the capital – and beyond.

It’s just 11km (7 miles) east of the City of London and under an hour from many major landmarks, including St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. Whether you’re in London for a city break or for work, it’s the perfect place to start your journey.

Three of Europe’s largest car rental companies have desks in the airport’s only terminal too, so it’s easy to explore the rest of the country. You can pick up your London City Airport car hire from:

• Avis / Budget: 03445 446 030 / 03445 444 662
• Hertz: 0843 309 3045
• Europcar: 0371 384 3412

Whoever you go with, it’s always a good idea to book in advance for a wider choice of vehicles and a faster pick-up process at the airport.

From any of the airport’s car rental pick-up locations in the south car park, you can head straight out on the A1020 or A112. The city’s orbital motorway, the M25, is around 25 minutes from here, giving you a fast connection with north and south London and beyond.

When you hire a car at London City Airport, it takes just a few hours to get to many of the UK’s most popular tourist hotspots: Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, the beautiful villages of the Cotswolds and Bath’s Roman Baths.
