Once you have arrived at Gatwick airport then it is likely that you will be ready to do some sightseeing in the city. Most people know that you can get around in London using taxis, underground and buses but often the option of driving is not considered. Like any city, London can get congested at peak times but that should not put you off from driving. Although most tourist attractions can be reached using public transport, it can be time consuming getting there. If you take a bus or underground train, you will have to keep stopping to let people on and off and the route that you take may not be the fastest meaning that it could take you quite a while to get there. If you take a taxi then you may have to wait around a while to find one and then it will be an expensive ride, with taxi drivers expecting a tip as well as a fee.
Having your own hire car means that you will be able to go where you want, when you want. If you travel out of peak hours then you should be able to get around easily and see all the places that you want. Not having to worry about a travel timetable means that you can stay at each place as long as you like and you will have lots of freedom as to where you can go and when. So when planning your trip decide whether hiring a car will be an advantage.
