Great Tips on Booking Car Hire at Stansted Airport
Author: Andy Burrows  | Posted: 29-08-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 41 | Rating: (57)  (?) 
Instead of waiting for and crowding onto public transport, hiring a car will let you get to your final destination at your own pace, while also allowing you to enjoy independent transport during your stay. When you return, just drop the car off at the airport and get straight onto the plane.
Arriving at London Stansted International Airport, the car hire desks are easy to find between the Departures and Arrivals areas. Major companies represented include Hertz, Budget, Avis, Europcar, National and Alamo. While it is possible to rent a vehicle on arrival, making an advance booking in order to ensure you get the type of car you want is highly recommended.
Often the most popular cars at the most competitive prices are already booked far in advance and you will be left with an unsuitable model at a rate you don't really want to pay.
The easiest way to book is online, with dedicated websites such as uk-car-hire.net providing easy step-by-step booking forms. Stansted airport car hire deals Here you can see pictures of the vehicles available and get an instant quote. You can choose what brand and type of car you want, whether mini/economy or luxury, manual or automatic. Any accessories you may require, such as baby seats or ski racks, can also be booked.
All drivers must be aged 21 years or over, have a valid driving licence and a credit card. An amount will be reserved as a safety deposit, which is fully returnable when you return the vehicle. Young drivers are not always permitted to rent specialty or larger sized vehicles. Once you’ve made your choice and have confirmed your credit card details, you’ll be sent a confirmation voucher which is to be presented to the rental desk on arrival at the airport.
After contacting the rental company at the airport and confirming your details, you’ll be given the car keys and detailed instructions on how to get to the car. The rental vehicle will be parked in one of the parking lots reserved for car rental companies, either a short walk or shuttle ride from the terminal. Stansted Airport is located at Junction 8 of the M11, which connects to London via the M25 (Junction 27). The journey to central London takes around 60 to 80 minutes.
At the end of your rental period, drop the car off at the rental returns office, located in the short stay car park, next to Zone G, just a short walk away from the main terminal building at Stansted Airport. A friendly representative will receive the keys and check the vehicle’s condition before unblocking the safety deposit from your credit card.
It is also possible to drop the car off at a different airport or even at a city location, but this may incur extra charges. You will be advised of any applicable surcharges before your booking is confirmed. Likewise car hire, it is also the best way to pre-book book Stansted Airport parking online. By using one of the reputed online Stansted parking companies you will benefit from attractively priced parking rates.
