It is always reasonable to expect cheaper prices at airport car rentals than in city locations especially when very large airports such as Stansted are concerned as the level of competition between car hire companies is intense. National car hire at Stansted won’t let you down on price – it is possible to rent a car with them from £130 a week at their Stansted office. You can also drop the car off at any of their other UK offices. The basic car offered is a car such as the Chevrolet Matiz with a 1.0L engine just to be used as a basic run-around. Moving up from there you can pay a little extra to get a 1.2L Vauxhall Corsa, and a little extra again each time for a Skoda Fabia 1.4L or Ford Focus Zetec 1.6L. Discounts are also offered on prices for booking in advance on the National car hire website and there is always a discount to be had somewhere on certain types of cars and hire lengths.

The National car hire branch at Stansted airport is situated in an ideal spot as it is accessible very close to the train station, bus stops, hotels and terminals. Cars here can be booked in advance or picked up upon arrival at the airport.
