Hyundai car rental in London

Three Hyundai models are on this page — the Kona crossover, the Tucson SUV and the i10 hatchback — with daily rates from £34 to £40.

Hyundai Car Rental in London and the Three Models We Deliver

Our Hyundai car rental in London comes down to three cars, and each one is built for a different kind of trip. All three run on petrol, drive the front wheels and come with right-hand drive for British roads. Below is what sits on the page, then how to choose between them.

Which Hyundai Models Are Available for Hyundai Car Rental

Kona, Tucson or i10 for Your Trip

The Kona is a five-seat crossover with a 1.0 L, 120 hp engine and a manual gearbox, at £36 a day. The Tucson is the only automatic on the page and seats five, which suits a family of four; the i10 seats four and is the most expensive of the three. The i10 is the smallest body here, a hatchback with a 1.0 L, 67 hp unit and four seats, so it fits where parking is tight but carries the fewest people. A 1.0 L engine is fine in town, but the 1.6 L Tucson holds motorway speed with five aboard — check the boot before a long trip. Our fleet on this page is one car per class: a single Crossover, a single SUV and a single Economy hatchback, all petrol.

What the Three Cars Have in Common

• Fuel: all three take petrol, and the car is supplied with a full tank and must come back full — the missing fuel and a refuelling fee are set out in the rental agreement.
• Drive: every model is front-wheel drive with the steering wheel on the right, matching left-hand traffic.
• Gearbox split: two cars are manual and one is automatic, so the Tucson is the only self-shifter in the group.
• Seats: two models carry five people and the i10 carries four.
• Booking: the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.

The cheapest car on the page is not the smallest one, so pick by seats and gearbox rather than by price alone.

What Hyundai Car Rental in London Costs by Class

Prices for Hyundai car rental in London follow the class of car rather than the badge on the boot. Three Hyundais sit on this page, and each one falls into a different class, so the rate ladder runs from the SUV to the hatchback. What you pay depends on which of the three you pick and how long you keep it.

Daily, Weekly and Monthly Rates for Hyundai Car Rental in London

The deposit, the insurance excess, delivery fees and any discount are not quoted here: they are set out in the rental agreement, and a manager confirms them when the booking is agreed. At Rent-Trip, the class you choose is the only lever on the rate before the length of the booking comes into play, which is why the table above is worth a second look before you decide.

Reading the Hyundai Car Rental Price Range

Hyundai car rental runs from £34 to £40 per day, with weekly bookings from £204 and monthly from £714. Weekly is daily × 6 and monthly is daily × 21, so the longer the booking, the lower the effective cost per day — a month of the Kona works out at 21 daily rates. The Tucson SUV opens the range at £34, the Kona crossover sits in the middle at £36, and the i10 hatchback closes it at £40.

Why the Cheapest Class Is Not the Smallest Car

The Tucson is both the cheapest car on the page and an SUV with five seats, so the usual assumption — pay less, get less room — does not hold here. The i10 is the most expensive of the three despite being an Economy hatchback with four seats and a 1.0 L engine producing 67 hp. In our experience travellers scan the list, see «Economy» and expect the lowest figure; then they reach the table and book the SUV instead. If two of you are driving out to Oxford or down to Brighton for the weekend, the Kona at £36 per day covers the trip with room to spare, and it still costs less than the hatchback. Check the class column first and the model name second — that order gets you the right car at the right rate.

What Changes the Bill Beyond the Class

Four things move the final figure: the class, the length of the booking, the delivery address, and whatever the rental agreement sets out for deposit, excess and fees. Delivery to an address in the city or to one of the six airports we serve is part of the service we run, and the terms of it are confirmed with a manager rather than listed as a line item on this page. Fuel works full-to-full — the car arrives with a full tank and goes back the same way, so the only fuel cost you carry is what you actually burn. The Tucson, with its 1.6 L engine and 150 hp, will drink more than the Kona's 1.0 L over the same distance, which matters on a long motorway run but barely registers on short hops across town.

Delivery and Booking for Hyundai Car Rental in London

The Rent-Trip Hyundai car rental does not start at a desk: we bring the car to you. The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the reservation is fixed, so the hand-over happens where your trip actually begins.

Where We Deliver Hyundai Car Rental

• Any address in the city: we deliver the Hyundai to the street address you give us, whether that is a hotel, a flat or a friend's house.
• Heathrow Airport (LHR): the busiest of the six airports we cover, with 84,481,178 passengers a year and 30.3 km by road from the centre.
• Gatwick Airport (LGW): 42,775,241 passengers a year, 48.6 km by road from the centre.
• Stansted Airport (STN): 29,758,490 passengers a year, 57.9 km by road.
• Luton Airport (LTN): 17,770,247 passengers a year, 56.9 km by road from the centre.
• City Airport (LCY): 3,737,888 passengers a year and the closest to the middle at 14.5 km by road.
• Southend Airport (SEN): 719,513 passengers a year, 67.4 km by road.

We also cover St Pancras & King's Cross, Euston, Paddington, Victoria, Waterloo, Canary Wharf, Wembley, ExCeL London and Mayfair. Anything outside these places is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site — name the terminal or the postcode when you book, and the manager tells you what can be done.

How the Booking for Hyundai Car Rental Is Agreed

You tell us the model you want, the delivery address, the date and the time; the manager confirms all three and the reservation is fixed after that. Nothing is left to a guess at the kerb.

The car arrives clean and with a full tank, and it must go back full — that is the full-to-full rule on all three cars here. If the tank is short on return, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement, so a quick fill-up before drop-off is the cheaper habit.

Two practical notes from our own experience. First, airport deliveries are worth timing against the flight rather than the clock: a landing that slips by forty minutes should not leave you standing in a car park, so give the manager the flight number when the hand-over time is agreed. Second, the Kona at £36 a day is the one most people ask for, and it is also the one that goes first on a Friday — book the model you want rather than the class, because with three cars on this page there is no second Kona to swap in.

Driving a Hyundai Car Rental in London on the Left

Every car we deliver is right-hand drive, because traffic here keeps to the left. The Highway Code sets the rules, and they are worth reading before you set off — not after.

Left-Hand Traffic and a Right-Hand-Drive Hyundai Car Rental

Our Hyundai car rental comes only as right-hand drive, and you keep to the left unless signs or markings say otherwise (Highway Code, rule 160). If you have only driven on the right before, the first ten minutes feel strange and then the roundabouts sort you out. Turning left is the easy one: you hug the left edge, and rule 183 asks you to stay close to it when turning. Turning right is where visitors hesitate, because you cross the oncoming lane and then settle into the left side again. At a roundabout you give way to traffic approaching from the right and travel clockwise (rule 185) — the mirror image of what a driver from a right-hand-traffic country expects at the first junction. The gear lever and the indicator stalk swap sides too, so the wipers tend to come on when you mean to signal. In our experience the second day is calm and the first is the one to plan a short route for.

Speed, Drink and Phone Rules That Apply to Any Hyundai Car Rental

• Built-up areas: 30 mph (48 km/h) in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland; on lit roads 30 mph is the default unless signs say otherwise.
• Other roads: 60 mph (96 km/h) on a single carriageway, 70 mph (112 km/h) on a dual carriageway and on a motorway.
• London zones: many signed areas are 20 mph, so read the signs rather than assume the national figure applies.
• Alcohol: England, Wales and Northern Ireland allow 80 mg per 100 ml of blood, 35 µg per 100 ml of breath, 107 mg per 100 ml of urine; Scotland sets 50 / 22 / 67.
• Phone at the wheel: holding a phone, satnav or tablet is banned even while stopped at lights — £200 and 6 penalty points, and a driver who passed under 2 years ago loses the licence.
• Seat belts and child seats: a belt is required where one is fitted; children need a child seat until they reach 135 cm or turn 12, whichever comes first, with a fine of up to £500.

The drink-drive limit is the one figure travellers get wrong most often, so check it before a single glass rather than after.

Documents for a Hyundai Car Rental

A full, valid foreign licence lets you drive for 12 months from your last entry into Great Britain — England, Wales and Scotland. Anything beyond that, and the minimum age or any young-driver condition, is agreed when booking rather than stated here. Ask the manager at the same time about the car itself: our Hyundai car rental is supplied with a full tank and must come back full, with the missing fuel and a refuelling fee set out in the rental agreement.

Charges and Rules That Affect Hyundai Car Rental in London

Three charges can apply when you drive a Hyundai here: the Congestion Charge, the ULEZ and the Dartford Crossing toll. None of them is something to assume in advance — who covers them is agreed when booking.

Congestion Charge and ULEZ for a Hyundai Car Rental

• Congestion Charge: £18 a day if you pay on the day of travel or in advance, £21 if you pay by midnight on the third day after; it runs 07:00–18:00 Monday to Friday and 12:00–18:00 on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays.
• Zone: inside the Inner Ring Road — Pentonville Rd, City Rd, Old St, Commercial St, Mansell St, Tower Bridge Rd, New Kent Rd, Elephant & Castle, Kennington Ln, Vauxhall Bridge Rd, Park Ln, Edgware Rd, Marylebone Rd and Euston Rd sit on or outside the boundary.
• No charge: the Congestion Charge is not taken from 25 December to the New Year bank holiday inclusive.
• ULEZ: £12.50 a day for a non-compliant car, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except 25 December; it covers all 32 boroughs, and the M25 sits outside it.
• Compliance: petrol cars must meet Euro 4 (roughly 2006 onwards) and diesels Euro 6 (September 2016 onwards); the TfL vehicle checker confirms a car by its registration.
• Penalties: a PCN is £180, cut to £90 if paid within 14 days; ULEZ follows the same £180 and £90 figures.

All three Hyundais on this page run on petrol, so the Euro 4 line is the one that matters — check the registration on the TfL vehicle checker before you enter the zone rather than after the camera has seen you.

Tolls, Penalties and the Rules of the Road

• Dartford Crossing (Dart Charge), M25: £3.50 per crossing for a car, or £2.80 when prepaid; it is usually charged 6:00–22:00 on every day of the week, and payment is due by midnight the day after the crossing.
• Dartford PCN: £70, reduced to £35 if paid within 14 days, £105 if left unpaid.
• Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels: £4.20 at peak — northbound 06:00–10:00 and southbound 16:00–19:00 on weekdays — and £1.55 off-peak with Auto Pay, from 6:00 to 22:00 on weekdays and all day at weekends.
• Speed: 30 mph in built-up areas, 60 mph on a single carriageway, 70 mph on a dual carriageway and a motorway; lit roads default to 30 mph unless signs say otherwise, and many zones are signed 20 mph.
• Phone: holding a phone, satnav or tablet at the wheel is banned even at a red light — £200 and 6 points, and a driver within 2 years of passing loses the licence.
• Seat belts: a belt is required where fitted; children need a child seat until they reach 135 cm or turn 12, whichever comes first, with a fine up to £500.

The three Hyundais here cover a crossover, an SUV and an economy hatchback, so the charge that matters most depends on where you drive: the Congestion Charge sits inside the Inner Ring Road and the ULEZ covers all 32 boroughs, while the Dartford crossing is a single payment due by midnight the day after you cross. At Rent-Trip, the car is handed over clean with a full tank and must come back full — missing fuel and the refuelling fee are set out in the rental agreement.

Documents for Hyundai Car Rental in London

Foreign licence holders can drive on their full, valid licence for 12 months from the date they last entered Great Britain, which covers England, Wales and Scotland. That is the rule for a Hyundai hire in London as much as for any other car, and it applies whether you land at Heathrow or pick the keys up at an address in the city. Our delivery model means the delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.

What you actually carry matters less than what you can produce if asked. The licence must be full and current; the 12-month window runs from entry, not from the start of the booking, so a driver who has been in the country for eleven months still has time, and one who has been here longer needs to look at their position before booking.

• Full licence: a current, valid licence from your home country is what the 12-month rule is written around.
• Twelve months from entry: the clock starts at your last entry into Great Britain, not at the pick-up date.
• Agreed when booking: everything beyond the licence itself — age, driving experience, what else is checked — is settled with a manager, not published here.
• No figure to quote: we do not put a minimum age or an experience threshold on this page, because those are agreed when booking.

The rules that catch drivers out are not about documents at all. Using a held phone, satnav or tablet at the wheel is banned even while stationary at lights — £200 and 6 penalty points, and a driver who passed their test less than 2 years ago loses the licence outright; hands-free is allowed as long as the device does not block your view. Seat belts are compulsory where fitted, and children need a child seat until they reach 135 cm or turn 12, whichever comes first, with a fine up to £500. Speed limits default to 30 mph on lit roads unless signs say otherwise, and many zones across the capital sign 20 mph — read the signs rather than assume.

In our experience the document problem that actually spoils a trip is the boring one: a licence left in a suitcase at the other end of the trip. Keep it with you when you travel, and confirm the details with the manager at booking rather than on the morning of delivery.

The Agreement Behind Hyundai Car Rental in London

The insurance cover, the excess and the deposit for Hyundai car rental in London are set out in the rental agreement, not on this page. What we fix before you drive away is simpler: the car, the delivery address, the date and the time. Everything financial sits in the document you read at booking, and a manager walks you through it if anything is unclear.

Three Hyundai models are on this page — the Kona crossover at £36 a day, the Tucson SUV from £34 and the i10 hatchback — and the agreement is the same document for all three. The class of car changes the numbers inside it, not the structure. Cover, excess and deposit are agreed when booking, so ask for the figure for the exact model you want rather than assuming it carries across the range.

Fuel is the one condition we state plainly, because it is ours and it does not move:

• Full-to-full: the car is supplied with a full tank and must come back with a full tank.
• Missing fuel: whatever is short is charged, together with a refuelling service fee, as set out in the rental agreement.
• Clean on hand-over: the car arrives clean with a full tank, and it must come back with a full tank.
• No other option: a pre-paid tank or full-to-empty is not offered on this site.

Charges that belong to the road rather than the car — the Congestion Charge at £18 a day, the ULEZ at £12.50 a day for non-compliant vehicles, the Dartford Crossing at £3.50 — are not settled here. Who pays them is agreed when booking, and that answer goes into the same agreement. In our experience the question comes up most from drivers heading out to Heathrow or Gatwick and back through the middle, so raise it early rather than at hand-over.

One practical note on timing: the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and the agreement follows that conversation. The excess is set out in the rental agreement, and if the figure matters to your trip, ask for it in writing at booking — it is the single number most renters wish they had checked first.
