The value of searching for a London City Airport car hire is to get one to their London destination all the more quickly. The size of City Airport is small (there is only one runway), so getting out of the airport and into a vehicle will be quick. Also, being in London proper means there will be a lot more car hire services available, hopefully a few will be real bargains.

Like airports everywhere, if the city has large international car hire companies, they will dominate the airport. Typically, it is only the large companies that can afford the airport’s rent to have a presence. City Airport car hire options are no different. The rental car companies available at London City Airport are Alamo, Avis, Europcar, Hertz and National. They will have the newest and best cars available.

Again, like airports everywhere, the independents and regional car hire companies will be nearby but off-site. Many of these will meet one at the terminal. The car will be parked, the keys and any paperwork will be completed right at the airport. This is a real convenience. It also a great way to find a City Airport car hire cheaply. Do the searching and booking before arriving at the airport.

In a city the size of London, with the number airports that serve it, there are a lot of car hire companies. Brokerage services abound that can help search for a good deal on a vehicle that one needs. These services are free, but that just means they are paid by the car rental companies. So, these deals need to be checked against one’s own research.

When travelling by air it is often a major concern as to where to park your car while you are gone. One needs to contemplate not only the cost of the vehicle storage but also the degree of safety that will surround your car during the time you are away.

Around London City Airport there are seven different car parking facilities. Each of them provides secure storage. The Short Stay Car Park located adjacent to the terminal does not require advance booking. Rates start at as little as £4 for a half an hour and go up in increments to £41 per 24 hours. Their Main stay parking beyond the Short Stay lot is £14 for up to four hours with full day rates set at £36 per 24 hour period. Long term parking does require advanced booking, there are minimum stay limits and are available with the Holidays Extras packs. Motorcycles and bicycles are allowed to stay for free.

Executive Chauffeur Parking Ltd also services the London City Airport. The chauffeur will meet you outside the terminal building on arrival and, with an advance call, return your vehicle to you. Security features include 24-hour CCTV, manned guards and are fully undercover from the elements.

You may also choose the London City Valet Parking service. You deliver your car to the Valet Parking Zone and turn over the keys before you check in to your flight. On your return you check in at the information desk for validation and the valet will bring your car to the terminal. While London City Valet Parking does provide staff and onsite police patrols and CCTV monitoring, they do qualify that your vehicle is parked at your own risk.
