KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bracknell
- The town of Bracknell lies between Reading (west) and Woking (east) in the south-eastern county of Berkshire. With a car hire in Bracknell, you own the freedom, convenience and versatility to explore the town at your leisure and discover areas off the beaten track otherwise limited by public transport. Swindon lies about 50 miles west along the M4 while the seaside resort town of Bognor Regis lies about 76 miles south via the A3.
- Only 12 miles east of the town centre, London Heathrow Airport is the closest air hub to Bracknell and the first place you can hire a car in Bracknell if arriving by plane. From Domestic Arrivals at Terminal 2, walk straight ahead and turn right at World Duty Free, where you’ll find the terminal’s Car Hire Centre. When arriving at Terminal 5, walk straight ahead from Domestic Arrivals and find the car hire centre midway between WH Smith and World Duty Free on the left.
- Bracknell is a significant technology hub on the outskirts of the Greater London Urban Area with adjunct retail businesses. Expect moderate traffic build-up along many of the town’s inner streets as well as the major inbound/outbound roadways during the morning and evening rush hour periods. In addition to the town centre, you can anticipate heavy pedestrian and cycle activity south of the Woke Hill district, where its two colleges are located. The summer period from June–September is also likely to experience additional overall traffic due to tourism.
- Morning rush hours in Bracknell last from about 07:00–09:00, peaking around 08:00. Areas to avoid are Met Office Roundabout along the A329 and the Station Roundabout near Bracknell Rail Station. The A322 is the only primary road connecting the town to destinations beyond the town limits and so is liable to experience heavy vehicular volumes inbound and outbound during these periods. Meanwhile, the downtown retail zone around Honeywell Roundabout (Princess Square Bracknell Shopping Centre) is very busy with pedestrian and motor activity from 13:00–15:00.
- Book your rental car in Bracknell at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini rental cars in Bracknell are around 79% cheaper than other car types, on average
