Best car quality, very smooth to drive, and the host is also very friendly must recommended.
It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The car was excellent and a pleasure to drive throughout the trip.

Absolutely fantastic service, great communication throughout and very nice host, definitely would reccommend.
The car was in a great state for a 2014 car. The host was very friendly, they helped me on my first rental and were accommodating when the return location had to change slightly. Definitely would rent again.
Very Great host. He was welcoming and very helpful and respectful. I will definitely use again
I had an amazing trip in Rebeccas Audi Sq5.This car was the perfect blend of performance and practicality - sporty yet spacious, with a luxurious interior that kept me comfortable. The drive was superb , powerful acceleration, and the Quattro all-wheel drive made handling secure in both wet and dry conditions. Rebecca was an excellent host - thoughtful touches like included USB cables made connecting my phone seamless. The tech suite was fantastic: cruise control reduced fatigue on highways, the 360-degree sensors made parking stress-free, and Apple CarPlay kept navigation and entertainment effortless. If you need a car that's fun to drive yet family-friendly, the Sq5 is a brilliant choice. Rebeccas hospitality and the car's premium feel made my trip even better. Highly recommend!
Athina was a great host! Very helpful throughout the entire rental period. Highly recommend her car! It was in outstanding condition too, all cleaned.
Car behaved well during the trip. Only approx. 100K miles driven since 2013 at the time of writing so car in good condition.

Want to explore Kent and Greater London at your own pace? Find car hire options on Turo. Here’s what you need to know about getting a car rental in Dartford.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Dartford?
Driving in Dartford follows standard UK road rules, with speed limits set at 30 mph in the town centre or residential areas. Motorways have a higher speed limit, usually signposted. Dartford provides access to major routes such as the M25 and A2 for regional and national travel. Traffic can be busy during peak commute times, especially near the Dartford Crossing and the town centre. When driving, stay aware of pedestrians and cyclists.
What is parking like in Dartford?
Parking is typically easy to find in Dartford, offering a good mix of council car parks and paid on-street parking. You’ll also find private parking near retail areas. The town centre provides several short and long stays, but it can be busier during the weekends and shopping peaks. Many areas operate pay-and-display systems, so it’s worth checking signage carefully before leaving your Dartford car hire behind.
Are there toll roads in Dartford?
The Dartford Crossing is a key route in the area and operates a toll system known as the Dart Charge. Payment is cashless and must be made online or via an account, as there are no pay booths on-site. Charges may apply depending on your vehicle type, meaning large vehicles like van hire may have higher tolls.
Are there petrol stations and EV chargers in Dartford?
Dartford has a good number of petrol stations. That means you can easily refuel within the town centre or along the highway. Most major routes and town locations have fuelling stations with standard fuel and convenience facilities. If you rent an electric vehicle, you’ll also find EV charging points in and around Dartford. You can usually recharge in most of the major public car parks, as well as some supermarkets and service areas.
Do I need to rent a car in Dartford?
Whether you need a affordable car hire or luxury van hire depends on your plans. Public transport is available, but having your own vehicle gives you more flexibility and independence. Many attractions, countryside spots and neighbouring towns are easier to access by car, and the local road network makes driving convenient. For business trips or extended stays, having a rental car in Dartford can also save time and help you manage your schedule.
