Hiring a car at Beckenham

Beckenham is a small town in the London Borough of Bromley, approximately 10 miles south of central London. The town's pretty High Street has cafes and restaurants for eating out, plenty of local, independent shops for browsing, and a cinema. There are several green spaces, including Beckenham Place Park and Kelsey Park, and a leisure centre with pool and gym. Beckenham makes a pleasant and convenient base for trips to London for shopping, sightseeing, business meetings or the theatre. The Kent countryside is also within easy reach. Popular destinations in Kent include Charles Darwin's house in the village of Downe, Winston Churchill's house at Chartwell, the picturesque village of Westerham, Brands Hatch motor racing circuit, and the Bluewater shopping centre near Dartford. London's Biggin Hill Airport is a 20-minute drive. The M25 motorway is around 10 miles, or half an hour's drive, away, giving you access to all areas of London and beyond, including Gatwick and Heathrow airports.

A Wide Range of Vehicles to Hire

Choose the right vehicle and get the most out of your business or leisure trip. The fleet of cars and vans offers vehicles of all types and sizes, for solo travellers, couples and families, and for every journey, from a trip to the shops to a driving holiday. For driving into the capital, a class A mini, economy or compact model will help you zip through the streets, while a large compact car offers more room, while still being manoeuvrable. Longer journeys into Kent or around the country will be comfortable in a standard or intermediate car, while a premium model adds a touch of luxury to your trip. A 4x4 or SUV is built to take you through the difficult road conditions, such as mud or water, that you might encounter in the countryside. If you're travelling with a group or with the whole family, a people carrier has ample room for everyone to enjoy the journey in comfort.

  • To be 25 years old 
  • A valid driving licence with a photo
  • A photo ID (for example: a driving licence or passport)
  • Credit or debit card (check the acceptable forms of payment at the location you're renting from)

Some locations may require additional information, including but not limited to:

As a customer, you have a choice as to how you would like to pay for fuel.

Fuel policy at non-airport locations:

  • You may refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level you received when you picked up the vehicle, or if you choose not to refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level, you will be charged the local Enterprise rate which is typically above the local pump price. An additional refuelling charge may apply at some locations.
  • A full tank of fuel is not guaranteed.

  • You may opt to pre-pay for fuel — pre-pay gives you two conveniences:
    • You can avoid the hassle of having to fuel up the vehicle before returning.
    • The pre-pay fuel option is calculated at the local rate of fuel minus a per gallon discount.

Note: Pre-paid fuel is only sold in full tanks at the discounted price per gallon and is not refundable. Local fuel rates will vary by the area you are renting a vehicle.
