Tips for renting a car in London Gatwick Airport
Browse helpful tips for renting a car in London Gatwick Airport including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on 20 August 2025.
- Gatwick, located in Southeast England, experiences a temperate climate with the possibility of rain throughout the year. Always be prepared for wet road conditions and reduced visibility, especially on the M23 and other major routes leading to Gatwick Airport. During winter, although heavy snowfall is rare, be cautious of frost and icy patches on the roads in the early morning or at night. Use your headlights and windshield wipers as necessary to maintain visibility.
- The area around Gatwick Airport, including the nearby towns like Crawley, can experience heavy traffic, particularly during peak travel times at the airport. Be prepared for congestion on the M23 motorway and A23 road, which are the main routes to the airport. The roads inside the airport, including access to terminals and parking areas, are well-signposted, but they can be complex for first-time visitors. Plan your route in advance and consider using a GPS navigation system to assist with directions, particularly if you're heading to less familiar parts of the region.
- Familiarize yourself with the UK's driving laws and local practices. Remember to drive on the left-hand side of the road and be mindful of speed limits, which are strictly enforced in the UK. At roundabouts, common in this area, give way to traffic from the right and follow the signs for your exit. In and around the airport, watch for specific signage related to drop-offs, pick-ups, and parking. Short-stay and long-stay parking facilities are available, but be sure to follow airport parking regulations to avoid fines or towing. Additionally, be aware of pedestrian crossings and be prepared to stop for passengers walking to and from terminals.
