KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Dartford
- Dartford is known around the UK for being a connecting point for much of the South-East, which is why it makes an ideal location for arranging a hire vehicle. Whether you are planning on staying local, travelling on the famous Crossing, making your way into London (around 25 miles away), or taking a trip to the tranquil RSPB Rainham Marshes (around 7 miles away), car hire in Dartford is a great start to your trip.
- Dartford is served by the nearby London City Airport, its own railway station, and the A282 motorway, meaning that your car hire in Dartford can easily integrate with the rest of your journey. From LCY airport, you can find car hire desks in the main Arrivals terminal. In Dartford itself, most hire car firms are located in or close to Temple Hill, the same neighbourhood as Dartford railway station, so you can be sure you’re in the right place with Dartford car hire.
- Dartford is a residential town that sits close to some of the UK’s most important motorways. That’s why it’s important to always be alert when driving around the area, as it is easy to quickly transition from a dual carriageway to quieter streets with plenty of pedestrians. The town itself, however, is easy to get around and is preferred by commuters for this precise reason.
- Due to the convenience of the nearby Dartford Crossing, this Kent town certainly receives a fair bit of traffic throughout the week. For that reason, try and plan your journeys outside of commuting hours (08:00–09:00, 16:00–18:00) and also expect a fair bit of congestion at weekends when plenty of families head out on day-trips. Sunny weekends create more traffic and snowy weather creates more difficult conditions, so be aware.
- Book your rental car in Dartford at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
