We understand the importance of choosing the right pick-up location. With that said, Bookingauto strives to provide customers with the opportunity to collect a car from all desired locations in London, including the city centre, main railway stations, and the nearest airports. Thanks to such a large selection of rental points, our clients can book a car in London and pick it up at a convenient place for them.
Options and possibilities:
We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to London on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible Jaguar F-Type from us, starting at €102 per day and rented out by the popular company sixt in London. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Mercedes V-Class might be best - from €58 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, budget recommends opting for a business class car like Mercedes E for €75 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model VW Polo for just €15 per day.
Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:
If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.

How the cost changes in London
The highest demand for car rental in London occurs during the high tourist season - summer.
On average, the cost increases by 20-30% and the choice of available cars is also significantly reduced if you don’t book in advance.
For example, in July, the average price for the popular model VW Passat in London is €50 per day.
In autumn, the same car costs about €8 per day.
Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a Jaguar F-Type is offered at €102 per day.
Among the economy classes, the most popular model in London is the VW Polo. The rental price for such a car starts from €15 per day from sixt.
For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a Mercedes E will cost about €75 per day.
With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a Renault Kaptur at this time can be rented for just €43 per day.
Fans of exclusive car models also find it easier to fulfill their requests in the autumn months. For example, in London, you can easily rent a LEXUS RX to travel in style through the streets of the beautiful city. Rest assured that the memories of these drives will linger in your imagination for a long time.
