Car & Van Hire - Gatwick Airport

Enterprise car hire locations - Gatwick Airport

As a destination, Gatwick is generally very much a transition point in a journey; a means of getting closer to one's destination, rather than the destination itself. This is, obviously, because Gatwick is home to one of London's – and therefore the UK's – top airports; it is the ninth busiest in all of Europe and second only to Heathrow in the United Kingdom. Enterprise is one of the options for car hire in Gatwick Airport.

Attractions At Gatwick Airport

Gatwick Airport has a number of designer shops within the two terminal buildings, so filling your luggage with duty-free shopping is not a challenge. For a bit of history, hope over to the Beehive, the original terminal building on the south side of the airport. Opened in 1936, it didn't last long, as the expansion of the airport in the 1950s required a new, larger terminal. Nonetheless, it was an important part of Gatwick's history, as well as global aviation history, as it was the first fully integrated airport building. While no longer needed for the running of the airport, it has kept its local importance, now being used as office space.

Airport Car Hire

Gatwick, the second busiest airport in the UK, consists of two terminals – the North and South Terminals. The South Terminal is responsible for most domestic and international flights, and most airlines fly from here. Airlines flying from the North Terminal include British Airways, some easyJet flights, Emirates and Aeroflot. Travelling between the two terminals is quick and easy with the free shuttle service, and Enterprise has a kiosk in both locations for your convenience.
