London's third-busiest airport and the fourth most important in the whole of the UK, London Stansted Airport serves around 30 million passengers a year, many of which arrive and depart on low-cost flights. It serves over 170 destinations across Europe, as well as select destinations in North Africa, Central America, and the United States. Inaugurated in 1943, it is located 64 kilometers (40 miles) north-east of London city center and, in addition to all the attractions to be seen in the capital, it provides visitors with good access to the many sights and experiences to be found in this lesser-known part of south-east England.

The airport currently has one large central passenger terminal with three passenger satellites that contain most of the the departure gates.

Travel Tips for renters in London

We recognize the fact that there are several variables to consider for people choosing to rent a car at London Stansted Airport or elsewhere in the UK. Price, drop-off hours and insurance are key aspects to take into account before booking, as well as the need for a one-way vehicle rental which offers travelers the added benefit of being able to collect their vehicle in one place and drop it off somewhere else. The section below look at some of the most important FAQs for people looking to hire a car in London and discover the city at their own pace and in total comfort.

UK Car Rental Age Requirements - The age requirements for renting a car in the UK can vary significantly depending on the rental company and even the specific vehicle group. While the official minimum age to rent a car in the UK is 21, some rental companies may insist that the driver is at least 23, or even older, especially for cars in the more luxurious vehicle categories. In other words, it's important to check the specific requirements of the rental company you intend to use before making a booking because they might have different age restrictions for different car categories. Depending on your age, you will probably be subject to a daily young driver surcharge to cover the increased risk of accidents due to the driver's inexperience. Additionally, some rental companies may impose maximum age restrictions on older drivers who are always charged an extra fee in most cases. Regardless of your age, you must possess a full and valid driving license for at least one year to rent a car in the UK. Please note that if your driving license is not in English, an International Driver's Permit (IDP) may be required in addition to your regular driver's license. You will also need to provide valid photo identification (like a passport or national ID card) and proof of address.

London Stansted Car Rental Insurance - When renting a car in the UK, you are legally required to purchase third-party liability insurance, which is always included in the Auto Europe's rates, along with collision damage and theft insurance. Many of our customers purchase excess insurance in order to reduce or eliminate the excess they would pay in the event of something unexpected happening during the rental period. Depending on the driver's needs, additional insurance such as accident insurance and insurance for specific parts, like windows and tires, can provide added peace of mind when driving around London and elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Please consult our UK Driving Guide for more useful tips and suggestions before collecting your car rental at London Stansted Airport.
