CAR HIRE AT LONDON VICTORIA COACH AND RAILWAY STATION

Our agency in Victoria is ideally located, right next to the bus station and very close to the main lines and the metro.

You wouldn't leave without seeing the capital's top sights, so with Buckingham Palace and Harrods just around the corner, you've got a front row seat. However, going for a walk outside the city can sometimes be good.

After an hour and a half drive from the station you will arrive in Brighton and Eastbourne on the south coast. It will take you the same time to reach the magnificent South Downs National Park, taking the A3 south-west. From Victoria station you can also reach the west easily: Reading is 80 km by car and the “dreaming spiers” of Oxford are only 104 km away.

With Avis Select Series and Avis Prestige , the model is guaranteed: you drive the car you book.

Our Select Series collection is available at this rental location. Choose from a handpicked selection of powerful templates.

Or opt for a top-of-the-range Avis Prestige car for a chic road trip. We have a limited stock of high calibre Range Rovers, elegant Jaguars, classic Porsches, racy Mercedes, sporty BMWs and beautiful Audis.

In your Avis hire car from London Victoria Train Station, discover London’s iconic landmarks and hidden gems. As one of the busiest transport hubs in London, Victoria provides easy access to the city. We’re sure you’ll want to spend some time enjoying the sights of the capital and with Buckingham Palace and Harrods just down the road, you couldn’t be better placed. Witness the Changing of the Guard or head to Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament, which are also nearby.

For those interested in history and culture, the British Museum is a must-visit with its impressive collection from around the world, while Hyde Park is a great place to take time to stroll or have a picnic. Nearby Covent Garden offers some of the city’s best shopping, dining and entertainment. Foodies will love the diversity of London’s cuisine, from traditional fish and chips to international dishes from all over the world.
