Top tips for hiring a car from Ace at London Heathrow Airport
You can navigate around London using a variety of public transportation methods, including buses, the tube, and rail. This might not suit you, depending on your schedule. It can be problematic to only rely on transport timetables and to visit numerous monuments when going on day trips. If you require a vehicle to travel outside of the city, you can book Ace car rentals at London Heathrow Airport (LHR). Once you've rented a car from London Heathrow Airport, you visit many places on your exciting day trips. Popular tourist attractions include Brighton, around 64 miles away; Windsor Castle, about 8 miles away; and Stonehenge, the ancient monument, which is around 70 miles from London.
Heathrow Airport is about 14 miles west of central London, and the Ace car hire centre is accessible by a shuttle bus. Look for signs for the Green Motion office, the Ace provider at Heathrow Airport. To access the car rental office, you can take the H2B or H5B. If you show your booking agreement to the bus driver, you will not have to pay the shuttle fee. Drivers aged between 21 and 24 will be charged a fee of around £50 per day. Young drivers can use both automatic and manual transmissions in compact, economy, and mini cars. Any legitimate kind of insurance documentation is acceptable if it covers the rented car.
Your rental vehicle can be used freely on the UK mainland, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, and the Scottish Islands.

The rental counter experience was fine. The Citroen C3 will go on my list (with the Renault Clio) of cars to avoid. The rubbery, notchy transmission took all the fun out of driving.Reviewed 16 Oct 2023
