Whatever your reason is for visiting Croydon, take advantage of cheap car hire in Croydon and go and visit some of the heritage sites. Some that spring to mind are Shirley Windmill and Tivoli Lodge. Also recommended is Addlington Palace; built in the 1770s its one of the most beautiful buildings in the area.

With budget car rental, why not visit Croydon Airport Museum and take a look round the world’s first purpose built airport, built in the 1920s and 30s before being turned into a museum with three galleries. The restored radio a room gives you a glimpse of travel gone by.

The critically acclaimed Clocktower arts and cultural centre is another place worthy of a visit, with its exciting and diverse programmes of movies and live stage shows and events. Also at the Clocktower arts and cultural centre is Croydon Museum with its newly refurbished interactive museum with many exhibits for you to take part in.

Use the freely available car hire in Croydon to take a daytrip to the historical coast town of Brighton, with its famous pier, stunning beaches and seas and fantastic mix of iconic attractions, famed nightlife and funky arts. Brighton is a must-visit place while using Croydon as a base as its only one hour’s drive away.

When visiting all these areas its best to try and see them in the summer months (June to August). As we all know the UK weather is unpredictable at the best of times, but when it gets hot, there is no better place to be than Surrey and the surrounding areas. The countryside and parks are amazing and the beaches in the nearby costal spots of Brighton and Hove are as its residents famously say: “simply the best”.
