Looking to rent a car in London? We’re excited to be expanding our branch network in the south of England with the opening of our brand-new location in Sydenham on Mayow Road. Whether you’re taking a day trip into the centre of London or need to hire a car for just a few hours, we’ve got you covered with a brilliant array of vehicles to choose from.
You may recognise our address as an Arnold Clark branch already – and you’d be correct! We recently took over the Arnold Clark Electric Car Centre previously based in this location, so you can find us just off the main road in the middle of Sydenham.
We are based in a beautiful, lively area of London. Sydenham features many simple yet peaceful attractions, such as parks and walking trails, for you to enjoy. Along Sydenham Road, you will find classic pubs that are full of life and picturesque cafés to relax in.
What you need to know
London consists of multiple congestion zones and an Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). Sydenham is no exception to these rules – so, if you are looking to rent a car from us, we just want to make you aware of this.
Congestion zones are common throughout London, and while we aren’t based in one of the zones, we suggest you plan your trip ahead to work out whether you may be affected by these zones to ensure no surprise charges occur during your trip.
However, we are based inside the ULEZ zone. This shouldn’t be an issue unless you are using your own vehicle to get to our branch. If this is the case, you may need to consider whether your vehicle meets the low emission standards. You can check this by using the Transport for London website to determine if your vehicle is considered ‘low emission’.
Sydenham has plenty to offer through the many parks and lovely nature walks it offers. It’s also close enough to London city centre if you plan to take a day trip there. Here are some of the things to do in and around Sydenham.
