Car Hire Reviews Stansted

  • “The pick-up was easy, it took 5 minutes from arriving at the desk to driving out the car, and the return took even less time.”
    Diane T

Where to go

If you're after the Great British tourist experience of scarlet double deckers, Buckingham Palace and Big Ben, London is the place to go. But if you want to see a quieter, quainter side of the UK, drive east to Southend-on-Sea for a mile-long pier, amusement arcades and proper fish and chips.

Nearby Stansted

Historic university city Cambridge is just a 40-minute drive from Stansted, while Colchester - which has an excellent zoo and fascinating castle - can be reached in 50 minutes. The centre of London itself is an hour from Stansted, where you'll find dozens of iconic attractions.

Longer drives

Oxford, home of the Bodleian Library and some stunning botanic gardens, can be reached from Stansted in an hour and 45 minutes. Alternatively, head to the popular seaside resort of Brighton with its famous pavilion, which is a similar distance away by car but to the south.

Things to do

Mountfitchet Castle and Norman Village allows visitors to step back in time more than 900 years to the Norman era. This is the only reconstructed Norman village accompanied by a medieval castle in the world. The House on the Hill Toy Museum is also well worth a visit, with a collection of more than 70,000 artefacts.

Sightseeing
