The first thing that anybody should do upon arrival at an airport is head straight to a car hire centre. There are so many people who end up coming unstuck on their holiday because they think they can get by using public transport when in actual fact this is the complete opposite thing you should do. Why would anybody want to cram themselves onto a bus or train every time that they want to go somewhere when they could have access to a car? By refusing to hire a car you have to plan every part of your holiday around public transport. This restricts dramatically the activities you can do, where you can go and how long you can stay for; at a time when every aspect of our lives at home is controlled by a lack of time a holiday should really be something that you are completely in control of.

So instead of choosing the wrong option, it is essential that you hire a car. Imagine the freedom that can be exercised if you are in complete control of your journey; you don’t have to run away from a museum or turn down the chance of a show because of the need to catch a train. Most of the attractions in London are designed to be able to accommodate cars so why would you refuse to accept a hire car? All you are doing is making things much more difficult for yourself and jeopardising your chance at having a relaxing holiday.
