  • The benefits of booking a car hire in Gravesend are that you can explore the city at your own place and go wherever you want without having to rely on public transport schedules that might include complicated changes or stops on the way. You also don't have to worry about the hassle of lugging your bags from one vehicle to another along the way. Reach places such as Shorne Woods Country Park in your car in just around 8min, rather than having to catch a bus and then a taxi which can take at least 30min.
  • The closest airport to Gravesend is London City Airport (LCY) which is a 45min drive from the airport to the city centre.

You'll often be driving in wet or misty weather, so it is best to check the tyres,  windscreen wippers and fog lights are in a top working order before leaving the car hire area. Remember, its best to slow down to a safe speed of no more than 30mph when driving in fog, and put your hazard lights on so that your car is visible to other drivers.
