KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bishop's Stortford

  • Car hire in Bishop's Stortford provides you with a greater amount of flexibility with your journey, as you can travel when you want rather than having to follow set train or bus timetables. There is also the added benefit of being able to drive directly to your destination, something that isn’t always possible with public transport. For example, you can drive to Puckeridge in about 14min, which is a journey that takes twice as long on the bus.
  • Stansted Airport (STN) is one of the most convenient terminals to reach from Bishop's Stortford, with it being about 5.5 km (3.4 miles) away. You’ll find a wide range of car hire companies to choose from once you have passed through security. For example, Budget is located in the Arrival hall, with other companies such as Green Motion being a short journey away via shuttle. Staff from your Bishop's Stortford car hire provider will ask you to complete the required documentation and have a valid ID and payment method before taking you to your vehicle.
  • Using car hire in Bishop's Stortford, you will see that the town is popular with locals and tourists, especially due to its close proximity to the airport. As there are no jaywalking laws in the UK, you can also expect people to cross the road in areas that are not designated pedestrian crossings. For this reason, you must drive with care, especially in the centre of town. There will likely be lots of cyclists on the roads too, so remember to check your mirrors so that you’re aware of your surroundings.
  • When driving your Bishop's Stortford hire car, roads can get very congested, especially with tourists that are travelling to Stansted Airport (STN). During rush hour, locals also travel to and from nearby cities for work, making the roads even more busy. Rush hour is from about 8:00 to 9:00 and from around 17:00 to 18:00, so if you want to avoid traffic it’s best to drive at alternative times. One road that can get very busy is the A120 so, if possible, try to use an alternative route such as the B1004, which should have less traffic.
  • Book your car hire in Bishop's Stortford at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Would not rent me the car as I didn’t have two form of proof of address for the address listed on my drivers license (I did have them for my rental address where I live). Only solution offered was to pay them a c. £200 up front fee as a waiver.

I arrived, and they had the wrong car. They had an SUV-type 7-seater, but I booked a people carrier van. They didn't have any available, so I had to wait 90 minutes with 3 children for the car to be ready. They claimed the issue with the booking was with Kayak/Expedia, and they made me pay the difference in upgrading the car. I showed them the booking confirmation and the picture of the van/people carrier with 9 seats, but they still made me pay. I was so tired and knew I needed the van that I had to pay to get out of the place. The manager was helpful, and the people were lovely. But I find all car rental places to be borderline crooks. This just confirmed it again for me. There are ridiculous add-ons for mileage, car seats for kids (a legal requirement), insurance, and excess. The list goes on.

Excellent all round experience. Would have preferred the vehicle that was listed rather than the equivalent, which was down on power

The pick up location was not welcoming... I was left waiting in the cold for quite a while. When the staff eventually turned up, I was bombarded with a bunch of hidden costs... one for a deposit of more than a Thousand pounds!! I eventually cut my losses (I had paid about 35 pounds through Kayak Ref EXP(B)-4477889-44569) and decided to take an expensive Taxi instead)
