Car hire - simple, easy, and affordable prices

Bookingauto (Heathrow Airport) strives to make your car rental experience as simple and convenient as possible. This also applies to the location of rental points. Our clients can pick up cars in the most popular places, whether it be the city centre, airport, or main railway station. The list of our pick-up locations is extensive, meaning that visitors who book cars with us in Heathrow Airport can always collect them from the most suitable place.

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 Heathrow Airport on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible Jaguar F-Type from us, starting at €42 per day and rented out by the popular company EUROPCAR in Heathrow Airport. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Ford Tourneo might be best - from €46 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, SIXT recommends opting for a business class car like Jaguar XE for €64 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model Peugeot 208 for just €17 per day.

How to minimize costs:

In order to avoid paying too much, plan to pick up the car and return it at the same time. Car rental fees are set for the entire rental day. Therefore, if you return the car after 25 hours, the payment will be calculated as 48 hours, or two full days. Likewise, if you use your rental car for more than 72 hours, you will pay for 96 hours of rent.

How the cost changes in Heathrow Airport

The highest demand for car rental in Heathrow Airport 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 Heathrow Airport is €14 per day.

In autumn, the same car costs about €10 per day.

Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a Jaguar F-Type is offered at €42 per day.

Among budget models, the most demanded in Heathrow Airport is the Peugeot 208. The EUROPCAR company rents it out for €17 per day.

Business class car rental in high season is also more expensive. For example, renting a Jaguar XE costs about €64 per day.

The excitement noticeably subsides in autumn and rental companies begin to reduce their rates. For example, you can rent a Ford Escape very cheaply in the autumn for just €42 per day.

It will also be easier to find unusual and exclusive car models. For example, by renting a BMW 8-series, you will experience real driving pleasure and enjoy a luxurious visit that will remain in your memory forever.

The booking can be cancelled with a full refund at least 24 hours in advance (in some cases, 48 hours may be needed).

If cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice (or 48 hours in some cases), the administration fee will be deducted from the online payment amount but the rest of the money will be returned to your bank account.

Each vendor has a different cancellation policy and administration fee for different cars. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read the cancellation policy before booking.

Remember that cancellations and changes are not possible after the pick-up time. This applies to all bookings.

Applies to all bookings:

If your online payment is less than the stated administration fee, there will be no refunds when cancelling your booking once the administration fee is applied.

If your booking is made less than 24 hours prior to the pick-up time (or 48 hours in some cases), a cancellation policy will be automatically applied to your booking.

Important information: To cancel a booking, please go to the “Manage My Booking” section – do not contact the rent-a-car company directly.

Insurance coverage cancellation policy:

If you purchased an additional insurance product with your car rental, the policy will be automatically ended when the booking is cancelled. To check if you are eligible for a refund, see the cancellation policy set out in the terms of your insurance product.

A “no-show” can mean that:

● You didn't inform the car rental company of your cancellation before your pick-up time.

● You failed to pick up your car in Heathrow Airport at the arranged time and date.

● You failed to provide the documentation required to pick up the car.

● You failed to provide a credit card in the main driver’s name with enough available funds on it.

In the event of any of the above, no refunds can be made.
