Fantastic rental! Gordon was very responsive and really helpful. Car ran very smoothly and with unlimited mileage it was an ideal rental. Great price and super economical car. We averaged around 65 mpg!
Great trip with this car. The smaller size makes it convenient to fit anywhere! Great price value too.
The Mercedes was in excellent condition — spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained and a genuine pleasure to drive. The engine and overall performance were superb, and it was clear that the car is looked after with real care. Simon is an excellent host: professional, extremely knowledgeable about cars and simply a genuinely nice person to deal with. I received exactly the experience I had hoped for and will definitely rent from him again. One of my best Turo experiences so far.
Monstair and his Yaris were a dream car rental - will definitely use again!
Easy peasy on all fronts. Lovely clean car, good price, and super straight forward to collect and drop off. I recommend.
Alhajie was super lovely and communicative with me as it was my first time using the app. Car was clean and comfy. Would definitely hire again. Great price too.
Great service, very accommodating, they took a last minute booking from me as a previous host cancelled a reservation the day before our journey and eased the stress and made this booking stress free with the remote options. Nice vehicle, nice drive, you can tell a lot of thought, time has gone into the process as they even provide detailed information about how to use the vehicle for those who made not be familiar with cars. The only small criticism i have is the vehicle wasn’t completely clean show room ready would be nice to have a refreshing air freshener smell but besides this it was good for the last minute booking great experience, I would book again if required. Thank you.
I had the car rental experience with Mirza! He was very communicative and fast in responding to any queries, the car drives very well and it’s also fuel efficient. Pick up and drop off process was very easy and straightforward, the host is also very kind and friendly. Definitely best price rate and car rental experience you would have (especially with automatic car!)
The Mercedes-Benz was an absolute pleasure to drive. It was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and in excellent condition. The ride was smooth, the vehicle performed flawlessly, and it made our trip even more enjoyable. The owner was professional, responsive, and made the entire rental process easy from start to finish. I would definitely rent this Mercedes again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a first-class TURO experience.
The car was in excellent condition, very clean and great to drive. Perfect for our bank holiday trip to Somerset. Prachi was very accommodating and great to deal with. We accidentally caused some cosmetic damage to the car during our trip, however the experience of dealing with the repairs was very smooth. We would definitely hire the car again!
Absolutely amazing car, the spec is amazing, very clean, very good host, definitely one of the best cars I’ve got from Turo! Will 100% book again! Thank you!
Great and easy car rental! Will definitely rent it again, Edith was great!
What an excellent host Noel was. Above all, helpful, transparent and honest. Exactly what you want when hiring a car on Turo from a private individual. Came to the location and found him diligently cleaning it to make it easy for our trip. He called and agreed to us coming a little earlier so that he could meet us and ensure everything was smooth and easy. Wish all our cars were as easy to hire from such hosts. Thank you
Best price compared to other cars, good confirmation speed, good response time mid-trip for any questions about the car, economical car, phone holder and cables provided, car in good condition, no issues. For an affordable, economic car for a quick get away and availability as means of transport and performance and features is not your priority, I recommend booking this car. Thank you for accomodating the booking.
The car was great and perfect for my trip. Edith was very communicative and helpful.

Why choose Turo for monthly car rental in London?
Turo gives you car access without the commitment of car ownership — and in a city that's growing as fast as London, that flexibility matters.
No loans or leases required
No loans. No leases. No commitment. Drive the car you need, for as long as you need it, without the financial burden of buying or leasing.
Flexible commitment
Rent a car for a month in London — or three months, or six. Choose the duration that matches your situation. No long-term contracts, no buyout penalties, no pressure to commit before you're ready.
100% digital experience
Browse London's selection of monthly rentals, book your car, and manage every detail from the Turo app. No dealership visits, no counter lines, no fax machines. Adjust your booking or extend your trip — all from your phone.

Who is monthly car rental in London for?
Just relocated to London
You've landed a new role in the City or Canary Wharf, but you're not ready to buy before you know your commute or which neighbourhood suits you. Monthly car hire in London bridges that gap. Drive while you learn the area, compare travelling times, and decide where you want to settle — no loan, no long contract, and no rush to commit.
Lease just ended — or just sold your car
Your lease is up, or you've just sold your car and you're weighing what comes next. A monthly rental keeps you moving while you decide. Take a few weeks to research used cars, sort your finances, or simply enjoy driving without another agreement hanging over you. When you're ready, extend the trip or hand the keys back.
Extended work assignment or travelling professional
London draws contractors, project workers, NHS staff, and professionals on assignment from around the world. If you're here for 10 weeks, three months, or a full year, a monthly rental usually works out more sensibly than booking short stays back to back. You get a dependable car for the whole posting, with a clear monthly rate and the option to extend if the project runs long.
Post-college or first car
Fresh out of university with a first job in London and not much credit history? Buying a car can feel out of reach, and a lease locks you in for years. Monthly car hire lets you drive what you need now, like a fuel-efficient compact for the commute. You keep to a budget that fits, with no loan and no long-term commitment while you work out what's next.
Pickup locations for monthly car rental in London
Heathrow Airport (LHR)
Arriving in London for an extended stay? You can book a monthly rental near Heathrow Airport (LHR), the UK's busiest, and have a car ready for the drive into the city. Sort your booking in the app before you land, then collect the car at an arranged spot near the airport rather than the terminal kerb.
Canary Wharf
Canary Wharf is London's finance and business heart, packed with offices and riverside flats in the Docklands. If your assignment or new role is based here, a monthly rental keeps you mobile for weekend trips out of the city and errands the Tube doesn't cover, without paying for a car you only use part of the week.
Stratford
Stratford, in East London, sits beside Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and one of the city's biggest transport hubs. It's a fast-growing residential area, so it's a handy base if you've relocated nearby. Pick up a monthly rental here to reach spots farther out that public transport makes slow, and keep the flexibility to extend your trip.

Top tips for monthly car rental in London
A few London-specific things are worth knowing before you book a monthly rental here. Sorting them early helps you pick the right car and keep your running costs down.
Finding the best deal
Use the duration filter to set the length of your trip. Rentals on Turo get cheaper the longer you book. Trips of 30 days or more unlock the deepest discounts, with reduced rates on seven-day and 14-day bookings too. Browse by price range, and book ahead to lock in the best everyday cars.
How to pick a car
For daily London driving, prioritise fuel efficiency and comfort over anything flashy. A reliable sedan, a fuel-efficient compact, or a small hatchback tends to offer the best value for a monthly rental. Think about your real needs: boot space for luggage, room for passengers, and an easy size for tight city streets and parking.
Road rules and conditions in London
Central London has a Congestion Charge of £18 per day, so factor it in if you'll drive into the charging zone. The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) adds £12.50 per day for non-compliant vehicles across all boroughs, around the clock. Choosing a ULEZ-compliant or electric car is the simplest way to avoid that daily charge.
Parking in London
Parking in London takes planning. Many areas fall inside Controlled Parking Zones, where you'll need a residents' permit or a paid bay during controlled hours. For a monthly rental, look into monthly car parks or a space that comes with your accommodation, which often works out cheaper and easier than hunting for on-street parking every day.
Toll roads in London
London has very few toll roads. The main one you might meet is the Dartford Crossing on the M25 to the east, which charges for crossing the Thames. Most day-to-day driving in the city won't involve tolls at all, so they're rarely a big factor when you're planning a monthly rental here.
Petrol and EV charging in London
Petrol stations are easy to find across London, though they thin out in the very centre. If you choose an electric car, you're well placed: London has one of the UK's densest public charging networks, so topping up near home or work is straightforward. An EV also sidesteps the ULEZ daily charge.
Types of cars available in London
You'll find plenty of practical, everyday cars for monthly hire in London. Think reliable sedans, fuel-efficient compacts, and family-friendly SUVs from familiar makes like Toyota, Ford, Vauxhall, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and Honda. These are the cars that make daily London driving easy: sensible running costs, comfortable for the commute, and simple to park.
Picking a monthly car rental in London that fits your budget
Whether you want to rent a car for a month in London or stay for several months, rentals on Turo get cheaper the longer you book. Trips of 30 days or more unlock the deepest discounts, and many listings also offer reduced rates for seven-day and 14-day bookings. For everyday cars, expect to pay a few hundred pounds a month, and it's worth setting that against the real cost of owning one. According to Transport for London, running a car costs around £3,186 a year in outer London and £3,502 in inner London. You'll see the total price before you book — no hidden fees, no surprise charges at the end.
Frequently asked questions about monthly car rental in London
Is there a credit check to rent a car on Turo in London?
No. Booking a monthly car rental in London on Turo doesn't involve the credit checks that come with buying or leasing. You just need to meet Turo's standard booking requirements, then you can reserve a car straight from the app.
Can I extend my monthly car rental in London if I need the car for longer?
Yes. If your plans in London change, you can request to extend your monthly rental and keep the same car for longer. It's easy to manage in the Turo app, and extending is often cheaper than starting a fresh booking.
Can I swap my car during a monthly rental in London?
Yes. If your needs change partway through a monthly rental in London — say you need more boot space — you can book a different car that suits you better. Just arrange the new trip in the Turo app.
What documents do I need to rent a car on Turo in London?
To book a monthly car rental in London, you'll need a valid full driving licence and to meet Turo's booking requirements. Have your details ready in the app, and you can get approved and on the road quickly.
What kind of licence do I need to rent a car on Turo in London?
You'll need a valid full driving licence that's accepted for driving in London. As long as your licence is current and you meet Turo's standard booking requirements, you can book a monthly rental from the app.
Is there a mileage limit on monthly car rentals in London?
Mileage allowances vary by listing. Each car on Turo shows its daily distance allowance, and you can use the distance filter to find cars suited to higher mileage. Check the listing details for London cars before you book.
Can I get a discount on a monthly car rental in London?
Yes. Rentals on Turo get cheaper the longer you book, and trips of 30 days or more unlock the deepest discounts. Many London listings also offer reduced rates on seven-day and 14-day bookings, so longer trips bring better value.
Who can drive a monthly rental car in London?
The person who books the car can drive it, and you can add extra approved drivers to your London trip through the Turo app. Everyone driving needs a valid licence and must meet Turo's booking requirements first.
How far in advance should I book a monthly car rental in London?
You can often book at short notice, but reserving early gives you the widest choice of everyday cars and the best rates in London. If you have set dates for a relocation or work assignment, booking a week or two ahead is a safe bet.
Is monthly car rental on Turo cheaper than leasing a car?
It depends on the car and how long you book, but the big difference is transparency. A lease usually means a down payment, a fixed monthly payment for years, and maintenance costs on top. A monthly rental in London on Turo shows you the total price before you book, with no long contract. Rates also drop the longer you stay, so you can compare and decide what fits your budget.
