First time I have rented a van, and I was very satisfied. The van was as advertised, and met my requirements perfectly. The checkout process was quick and efficient, and a slight misunderstanding following check-in of the van was resolved very quickly. I have no hesitation recommending Gatwick Car

I’ve been renting cars and vans from Gatwick Car and Van Rentals for over six years, with around 100 rentals in that time. The service from Raz and Ad is consistently outstanding—friendly, reliable, and professional. They offer great prices without any upselling, and the vehicles are always new and

I cannot praise the team at Gatwick Car & Van Rental enough. I have been renting vehicles from them for several years now, and I can do nothing but praise their kindness and efficiency. I am usually travelling alone as a (tired and frazzled) female, and the team take so much of the stress away. T

Amazing service by the team at Gatwick car and van hire. Great prices and always helpful in the multiple times I’ve used their service.

Good quality service for car rentals. I am pleased with staff being helpful and honest. Unlike many rental companies, Gatwick Rental is a relief in that it’s not limited to cap in daily mileage. Flexibility is another factor too.

Very efficient service, staff very helpful and vehicles well presented and of a high standard. Have now used them several times and plan to use them more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the vehicle be inspected before and after the hire period?

Yes. When you arrive to collect, we will have already inspected the vehicle and taken photos of its existing condition, which we will share with you at that time. We would strongly advise you to carry out your own inspection at this time and advise us of any concerns before driving away. Another inspection will be carried out when the vehicle is returned – we would prefer you to be present for this. However, if you are dropping off the vehicle out of hours, we will carry out the inspection the following working day and share the report and photos with you once it has been completed.

Where can I find information on how to operate my vehicle during the hire period?

Before you drive away with your rental vehicle, we will give you a full run through of everything you need to know to operate it safely and how to make the most of all its features. If you require further assistance or advice during the period of your hire, you can always get in touch with us on the phone. 

I have sustained damage to the vehicle, what should I do?

If you have a mechanical issue that means you are unable to drive your vehicle, contact the breakdown service. You can then get in touch with us and we will advise what you should do next. For minor damage, if it has been sustained in an incident involving another vehicle, inform the police via the incident number provided, then contact us directly for further advice.

If I have an emergency during the hire period, what should I do?

When you collect your vehicle, we will provide you with our full contact information, along with breakdown and incident report numbers.

What is the process when I pick up the vehicle?

When you make your booking, select the date, time and location at which you’d like to collect your vehicle. If you’re collecting after flying into one of the airports we serve (Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Stansted, Southend and City), we can be there at your terminal to meet you and take you straight to your vehicle. Read more about our car hire process by clicking here.

What if my flight is delayed and I am unable to get to you on time for my booking?

We track flights so that we will know if yours has been delayed and when you are expected to land. If you are delayed in the airport, we can wait free for up to one hour, after which a charge will be imposed.
