KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Windsor

  • Having a car hire in Windsor offers several advantages for exploring the surrounding area. With a car, you can easily visit attractions such as Windsor Castle, which is only 1 mile from the city centre. The beautiful Windsor Great Park, located just 2 miles away, is also easily accessible. Additionally, a rental car allows you to venture further and explore nearby destinations such as Legoland Windsor Resort, approximately 3.7 miles away, and the historic town of Eton, just across the River Thames. Further afield, the enchanting Windsor Forest and the scenic Runnymede Meadow are within a short drive, providing opportunities for outdoor adventures.
  • London Heathrow Airport (LHR) is the closest airport to Windsor, making it a convenient choice for travellers. At London Heathrow Airport, passengers looking to visit Windsor can easily find several well-known car hire companies within the airport terminal or nearby. Rental car desks are located in the Arrivals area of each terminal, offering a seamless and efficient process for picking up a hire car.
  • Driving in your Windsor car hire offers a generally pleasant experience, with well-maintained roads and clear signage. The town is compact, making it easy to navigate and explore its charming streets. However, as Windsor is a popular tourist destination, it can experience heavy traffic during peak seasons, particularly near major attractions such as Windsor Castle. In Windsor, you can expect to see a considerable amount of bicycle traffic, particularly around the town centre and along the riverfront. When it comes to cars, you will see a mix of vehicles in Windsor, including sedans, SUVs, and luxury cars.
  • Driving your car hire in Windsor may present a few challenges. The town’s narrow streets and limited parking spaces can make manoeuvring and finding parking a bit difficult, especially in the bustling town centre. During peak tourist seasons, roads leading to popular attractions like Windsor Castle and Legoland Windsor Resort can experience heavy congestion, causing delays. The A308, which runs through Windsor, can be particularly busy during rush hour, typically between 07:30 to 09:00 and 16:30 to 18:00 on weekdays. Planning your journeys outside of these peak traffic times can help alleviate the difficulties associated with congestion and parking in Windsor.
  • Book your car hire in Windsor at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Windsor are around 42% cheaper than other car types, on average
