Top tips for renting a car in Slough
- Car hire in Slough allows you to take advantage of the nexus of major road networks, such as the M4 which connects you to the busy London metropolis to the east, as well as the Greater Thames Valley area to the west. Within the town you can discover Herschel Park and Haymill Valley if you love the great outdoors or take in the exhibits at Slough Museum, which are a short hop by car. Explore the nearby market town of Maidenhead or drive out to historic Reading, which lies 20 miles west along the M4.
- If you’re flying into London Heathrow Airport (LHR), there are car hire desks at Terminals 2 through 5 where major agencies such as Alamo, Avis and Hertz offer their services. Each of the airport’s terminals has a Car Hire Centre, which you can easily find once you exit the Customs area and enter the Arrivals Hall. You can also take a free shuttle to collect your Slough car hire, just follow the posted signs or ask for assistance at the nearest Information Desk.
- Slough is a busy travel hub connecting the capital London with the county of Berkshire and many of its residents often travel to neighbouring towns and cities for work or pleasure. Get a sat nav with your car hire in Slough to help navigate unfamiliar territory within the city limits and beyond or enjoy the thrill of finding your own way around. Pay particular attention to speed limits, bike and bus lanes and the occasional wayward pedestrian when driving, particularly at night.
- Being situated at the intersection of the M4, M25 and M40 suggests that early morning and evening rush hour traffic can be a serious problem getting in and out of the town. Expect delays along these travel corridors between the hours of 07:00-09:00, as well as the18:00-21:00 intervals during the work week. You may also experience a knock-on effect along the London Road/Wellington St/Bath Road artery running from east to west or the A355 connecting north and south, so plan ahead and have some alternate routes to avoid any congested areas.
- Book your rental car in Slough at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini rental cars in Slough are around 58% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting a car in Slough
What type of car is recommended for driving in Slough?
The mini is a cheap economy car and is an ideal size for solo travel or with a mate, but SUVs and people carriers are highly recommended for journeys with several relatives, friends or co-workers. Vehicle size shouldn’t be a problem navigating the town’s narrow streets as long as you take your time around tight corners and obey the speed limits.

Expect visible and hidden red light and speed cameras near all primary junction points and observe good driving etiquette as you go.
Where are the best places to park in Slough?
Not finding a free parking spot on the street? Hatfield and Herschel car parks are two huge multi-level public garages within 1 mile of the town centre where you can leave your Slough hired car. Rates typically range around £0.70 per hour or £5.00 for a stay of over 4h and are open daily until late.

Pros:
The guy at the rental place was unbelievably helpful in getting us an automatic car at a different company nearby. He should get a raise.Cons:
This isn't really Hertz' fault, but they didn't have an automatic car available even though I booked 6 months in advance. The 3rd party company I booked through didn't pass any of my contact info on to Hertz, so they had no way to advise me of this until I arrived. Hertz probably should have been able to arrange for an automatic car in 6 months and the 3rd party should have passed on my info.Firefly
