Driving in Sittingbourne

You can pick up a hire car within walking distance of Sittingbourne train station in the heart of the town, with Enterprise Car & Van Hire roughly 10 minutes away by foot. Another local option is Practical Car & Van Rental Ltd, which is on Gas Road (15 or so minutes from the train station).

Elsewhere, Europcar has options in nearby Maidstone (25 minutes by car), while Gatwick Airport, about an hour’s drive away, has a good selection of vehicles from well-known car hire companies, including Alamo, Avis, Budget and Enterprise.

Once you’ve got your keys, you’re ready to hit the road and explore the beauty of the Kent Downs and beyond. Driving around this part of Kent is generally quite simple. Follow the A2 south for Dover or north towards London in an almost straight line. It takes less than an hour to reach Dover Castle to visit the Secret Wartime Tunnels, while the famous White Cliffs are a little further on.

If you’re considering hopping on a ferry to Calais, check the T&Cs of your hire car and if all is good, you could find yourself in Paris by dinnertime.

A day in historic Canterbury is worth a pit stop – it’s just off the A2 via the A2050. Visit the cathedral, punt along the River Stour, then head to the Old Weavers for lunch. In the afternoon, hop back in your hire car for a quick trip to the coast. Within half an hour you can be strolling along Whitstable Beach (check the tide times), a bag of oysters in hand.

If time is tight, there’s plenty to do closer to Sittingbourne. The Elmley National Nature Reserve on the Isle of Sheppey takes you from the town to remote countryside within 30 minutes. Here, you can drive along a safari-style track, spotting birdlife and wild hares. Another option that is particularly popular with families is the Lost World Reptiles shop in nearby Teynham.

If you’re here for the big city, an hour’s drive up the A2 will get you to Greenwich for the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich Market and a boat trip along the River Thames. Driving to the O2 from Sittingbourne for an event means you don’t have to worry about catching the last train home – just allow plenty of time for traffic and book your parking space in advance.
