  • London is roughly 177 kilometres from Thoroton. Well-known sights like Big Ben deserve to be at the top of your list while you're in town.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Thoroton with Expedia?
It's easy to score an amazing deal with Expedia. Simply choose your preferred car type, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off points, and compare offers from all the big-name rental providers. Save even more when you bundle your Thoroton car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Thoroton?
Thoroton requires drivers to be 21 and above to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some choice restrictions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Thoroton?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your selected company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Thoroton?
Unlike the U.S, people in Thoroton drive on the left. Having the steering wheel and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the car before getting on the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Thoroton?
Expedia makes it a snap to find an affordable long-term rental in Thoroton. Just visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and compare the offers.
Where can I find a Thoroton car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that operate in Thoroton. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
