Very good service

We were dealt with quickly and respectfully both on pick up and return of the vehicle. Downside is the 30 min wait for the shuttle bus if you just miss one.

We have used 121

We have used 121 car hire on numerous occasion and always found them to be extremely helpful. The vehicles are always excellent and the staff vey helpful. The service has improved as they are now based within the airport so avoiding having to travel to a pick-up and drop-off location by bus. The only criticism would be that the valentine of the vehicles is obvious carried out by untrained staff - the windows are often not thoroughly cleaned and the interior dashboard on one particular vehicles had obvious only been given a cursory wipe over as it looked greasy.

London Stansted Airport

A great deal all round!

We had a very smooth and efficient pickup. The price was excellent as was the vehicle. I also bought the online insurance as it was better value than buying at the counter - the only downside being that the insurance (in the event of a claim) would have had to be claimed back after payment had been settled up front.

London Gatwick Airport

Competitive rates and quick confirmation.

The rates and choices were good. The pick-up was efficiently handled and the staff at all times were courteous and helpful. The car was well-presented and in good condition. My major problem was in not knowing the supplier BEFORE pressing the button to finalise the booking. I want to know which company will provide the car ahead of booking. I was totally confused by the title Interrent, there was no sign at the Rental office and it was only then that I learned that the supplier was Europcar. Why the mystery? Also I required a rental agreement that allowed me to pick-up and return a vehicle full of fuel. (Pick-up full, return empty is a con.) Luckily the helpful staff allowed me that choice though I suspect they could have refused. So, overall very happy, but I would like more information on the supplier before I commit.

Never Again Interrent

I am sorry but I couldnt find anything good to say about the customer service at interrent,and when I think about my experience with them it makes me angry..from the moment I got off the plane to the time taken to hire the car was painful..i am surprised that the company INTERRENT is still in business if they treat evry customer the same way..thank you for the opportunity to review my experience car 121..

Professional service

Two small things I'm not 100% happy about ... the very professional lady at the counter at Heathrow suggested that I upgrade the car I booked (a mini car ) to one that would be better for long distance driving. She assured me it would only be £5 extra and that the petrol comsumption would be better. When I checked my card statement the rental car company seemed to deduct an amount of $10.38 from my card. I then had to pay an additional Conversion Fee (I had a multi currency card, but only uploaded £ and Euro since that was the only countries I will travel in). When I filled up with petrol at the end of my journey, I actually used more petrol than I budgeted for with the mini car and unfortunately the petrol station charged my card in Euro and then it had to be converted to pounds which let to another additional conversion fee. For the rest though, I had a very enjoyable time. One recommendation though, perhaps you could leave a detailed map of the country in the car for the use of drivers who do not use a GPS. Thank you!

Excellent service, excellent price, excellent car

Superb service with a very patient lady in the Sixt car park kiosk who showed me, very patiently, how to use the controls of the Mercedes E300. This is the first time in a long while that I have had to hire a vehicle and will only use SIXT in future. A huge thank you.

Hassle free hire

Booked using this website, with the car actually being provided by Green Motion near London Heathrow Airport. Smooth user experience, the car was good (Hyundai i30 diesel [CDMR], since you ask) and everything went off without a hitch.

got an excellent car

booking through 121 carhire.com and the supplier is thrifty at the sheraton heathrow airport london. the booking online is easy,the price is very attractive. the car we have got is the bmw520 touring au,diesel,very new and large and full of power,an exellent car for a nine-day driving to scotland (i booked the mercedes c-class with sat nav). the process of picking and returning the car at the sheraton heathrow is easy and fast. but the downside i've found at thrifty is the transport to and from heathrow and the hotel which is about 4-5 miles is insufficient. we had to wait for a long time for this.

Very good car, easy to collect and very good service

We were happy to rent this Ford Mondeo car. It was better than expected, more spacy, and easy to drive, even in the "wrong side" of the roads (left).

Location information for London

London is as dynamic as it is exciting and as vast as it is fascinating. From the heart of the city and the River Thames, to the pandemonium of Piccadilly Circus and Chinatown, there is an incredible selection of activities, choices and days out that can be enjoyed with London car hire.

London's museums are second to none. For proof of this you only need to visit the Natural History Museum with its incredible dinosaur collection or the Imperial War Museum and be transported back to wartime London. For scary thrills of a different kind you can visit the London Dungeons and see the nasty characters that inhabited Jack the Ripper's London.

If culture is more your ideal holiday then you have art galleries galore to choose from, including the National Gallery and the Tate Modern. If you fancy a more musical evening then you will be captivated at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden or by a recital from the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

In need of some shopping while you're in town? Head to fashionable Knightsbridge and the world famous Harrods department store. Lunch at one of Kensington's elegant eateries before enjoying the retail therapy of the shopping meccas High Street Kensington and Oxford Street. There is plenty of off road parking for your car hire in London in one of the many car parks.

If you want to sample some of London's global cuisine you have the option of Chinatown, Bengali or Indian in Brick Lane, fantastic Italian and continental European and of course hearty British grub. Budget car rental allows you to dip in and out of the city's delights as and when you choose, and is a great way to explore the sprawl of London.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card.
