KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Waltham Abbey

  • When exploring Waltham Abbey, car hire offers distinct advantages over other modes of transport. With a vehicle, you can visit attractions such as the magnificent Waltham Abbey Gardens and the charming Waltham Abbey Church. Additionally, a car allows you to conveniently access nearby destinations like Epping Forest, famous for its scenic trails and ancient woodlands. While public transport and taxis may limit your mobility and require adherence to fixed schedules, car hire in Waltham Abbey provides the flexibility to explore at your own pace.
  • If you're looking for car hire in Waltham Abbey when flying in, the major airports nearby include London Stansted Airport (STN), London Luton Airport (LTN), and London City Airport (LCY). At London Stansted Airport, the car hire offices are located in the Car Rental Village, accessible via a short shuttle bus ride from the terminal.

  • When driving in Waltham Abbey, be mindful of the town's narrow, winding roads. Take extra caution while navigating through the historic town centre, as some streets may be restricted for vehicle access. Be aware of pedestrians, as Waltham Abbey is known for its pedestrian-friendly streets. Be prepared for unexpected crossings, particularly near popular areas like the market square and Abbey Gardens. Drive attentively and respect the town's pedestrian-friendly environment.

During the winter, check weather and road conditions, especially for roads leading to nearby mountainous areas, as they may be more challenging due to snow or icy conditions. Stay informed and plan your journeys accordingly.
