Vauxhall Corsa 2020

This car was great. Very small to help ease the navigation of the narrow London streets, but big enough with the back seats folded down to fit all 4 of our suitcases and then some. As American tourists, driving around in the UK proved quite stressful, but our host made things as easy as could be by meeting us right at the airport with the car. He was very patient and communicative the whole time, and quick to reply to any messages we sent. Would gladly rent again.

The main routes towards Heathrow Airport feature multiple fuel stops, particularly useful before longer journeys to London or other Surrey destinations.

What car type works best for Surrey countryside drives?

A compact or mid-size car handles Surrey's narrow country lanes perfectly whilst providing comfortable seating for exploring areas around Englefield Green and Windsor. SUVs offer excellent visibility for scenic drives through Runnymede and towards the Thames, though they may feel oversized on some rural roads near Egham.

Ensure your vehicle has sufficient fuel before departing, as some rural areas between Windsor and other counties may have limited services.
