What documentation do I need to collect my vehicle from Europcar in London?

As a UK citizen, you won't need much to collect your car at a Europcar branch in London. Naturally, your driver's licence is essential – note that it must be a modern plastic one. But don't worry if you still have a paper licence: you can get a one-time passcode online and provide that instead. If you've also booked online and only need to collect your car, you'll need to show the same payment card that you used to make your booking. Otherwise, pay on arrival.

Where is the best place to collect my Europcar hire car in London?

Europcar branches are conveniently located all across the city. So you can choose the one that's nearest to where you're staying. Some of the branch locations include one in Islington, from where you can easily get around North London. The nearest landmark is Emirates Stadium. Choose the Westminster or King's Cross branch if you want to be very centrally placed. You can also collect your car in the north-west, near Wembley Park. South of the Thames there's a branch in Lewisham. And, as you'd expect, there are Europcar desks at all of London's airports.

What are the advantages of choosing Europcar in London?

Europcar's Model Choice service allows you to choose the specific make and model of your hire car, rather than only being able to choose a car category. You can specify whether you want a manual or an automatic one too. The One Way service allows you to collect your car at one branch and leave it at any other branch that's most convenient for you. Another feel-good factor is the Europcar Green Programme promotes sustainable development and the company was the first to lodge certified commitments to this in London.

Cons:Booked a car for £50, including taxes/fees, but after arriving (and waiting for almost an hour while the one attendant dealt with another customer’s reservation) we were told it was actually £190 due to additional insurance and various other fees. Cancelled on the spot and left!Reviewed 2019 May 28

Pros:Nice car but you can get that at any rental shop.Cons:Took about an hour to check in and there were only two people in line in front of me and I was there during weekday business hours. Despite listing that they offer baby carseats, no one from that department was there so they couldn’t offer us one. Manager ignored us as he was too busy.Reviewed 2019 May 14

If you're new to driving in London, be aware of the city's congestion charges. There are designated zones in the inner city that require you to pay a daily fee if you want to drive there. This applies every weekday from 07:00 to 18:00. It's a good idea to take this into account when hiring your car, as you'll be responsible for paying these costs. Economy models are subject to lower congestion charges.
When you book Europcar car hire in London, think about where you'll be staying and what you'll be doing. If you're spending most of your time in the city centre, there are designated zones where you can and can't drive. The traffic is also congested, so opt for a more compact city car or sedan. If you're on holiday and intending to explore further afield, a small SUV will be ideal. For families or groups of friends, larger MPVs make a great choice. These models are available at all of the London branches of Europcar.
For those in a rush who've neglected to book Europcar car hire in London, or have decided to do so at the last minute, the company offers an urgent car hire service. You can get one in as little as two hours for personal use. If you're hiring for business use, the turnaround time is 24 hours. This doesn't guarantee a specific make and model, however. If you want to make your own selection, this will take a minimum of 48 hours to fulfil.
Europcar offers a very handy Deliver & Collect service for car hire in London. This has your hire car delivered to wherever you are, be that an office, your hotel or any other address. The same applies to returning your car. There's no need to take it anywhere, as Europcar will simply collect it from wherever you prefer. It's available for all categories of vehicles and costs about £10 each way. You could hardly ask for a more convenient London car hire experience.
