A brand new service has just been released - Pay On Arrival.

This new service allows a small deposit to be paid when booking, with the balance paid when the hire car is picked up. The service is currently available across Spain and Portugal, with more countries soon to be added.

A big advantage of the pay on arrival service is that customers can reserve their hire car with a small deposit, leaving the full payment right up to the last minute when they pick up their hire car. This will enable many customers to book their hire car much earlier than before, which will help them to avoid some of the car hire shortages seen this year.

The service is easily identified by looking for the Pay On Arrival message and logo next to the hire car price.

London King’s Cross train station or “Kings Cross” opened in the early 1850’s in London N1 and was named after the area it was built.  Today King’s Cross is the London terminus for the east coast main line with trains run by National Express East Coast and First Capital Connect to destinations such as King’s Lynn, Letchworth, Doncaster, Hull, Leeds, York, Harrogate, Newcastle, Glasgow and northern Scotland. Thameslink trains no longer journey through the station.

The London Underground, otherwise known as “The Tube”, also runs through King’s Cross St Pancras Station via the Circle line, Hammersmith & City line, Metropolitan line, Northern line, Piccadilly line and Victoria line.  St Pancras station neighbours King’s Cross and it is here that the Eurostar train service runs directly to France and Belgium under the English Channel.

Kings Cross car hire is simple to arrange with easyCar and can either be collected from the station if booked in advance or from one of the car hire offices in close proximity to the station.

The actual locale of King’s Cross station is on the Euston Road, postcode N1 9AL, and it falls in both the London Boroughs of Camden and Islington. The British Library is just 5 minutes walk from King’s Cross, with Regent’s Park a short bus journey away.  The area of Bloomsbury next to Russell Square is to the south with all the delights of central London just a hop away!

The closest motorways to King’s Cross are the start of the M1 in Brent Cross, north west London and the beginning of the M11 in South Woodford (to the north east).  If heading to the west of England or Wales, then you will head to the M4 entry which is near Chiswick in west London.

King’s Cross and Euston are located on the edge of the Congestion Charging zone in London, and no fee will be required to pay as long as you stay north of Euston Road or Pentonville Road. Should you drive through the Congestion Zone the current fee is £8.00 per day if paid before or on the day of travel (£10 charge on the first charging day after travel – fines thereafter). There is no charge for vehicles driven in the charging zone between 1800 and 0700 Monday to Friday, or at weekends or during English public holidays.

With more cars becoming available after the high season rush and prices dropping, September can be a great month to travel.

To kick September off, we’ve a fantastic new sale, with many cars reduced in price even more! To view this sale, visit the car hire sale page and use the easyCar voucher code on the page.

You’ll need to hurry, as even this month the more popular cars will sell out, and these savings will not last forever!

Green rolling hills, pretty countryside dotted with enchanting hamlets, quaint beach towns nestled alongside bustling sea side resorts; the south eastern English county of Kent is a delightful region, stepped in history and charming discoveries.

Home to the UK’s busiest passenger port, Dover is situated on the far eastern coast of Kent where a car ferry may be taken to Calais, Dunkerque or Boulogne in France. Watch the famous White Cliffs of Dover as you sail away, or take the time to explore the town and Dover Castle.

Ashford in Kent is the first stopping point outside of London for Eurostar’s passenger trains, whilst Folkestone is the entry location for the Eurotunnel car trains to Calais.

Dover, Ashford and Folkestone are all excellent locations from which to collect car hire in Kent although the county capital of Canterbury isn’t only an ideal collection point, but the perfect location for a romantic weekend away.

Historic Canterbury is a university town, home to the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral.  Cobbled streets are lined with tiny boutique stores and modern popular high street shops, yet the quaintness of this lovely area will keep you enthralled throughout your holiday!

The seaside resort of Margate on the north Kent coast has been mentioned in the news recently as a town in need of regeneration. Margate was also featured in a task in the popular TV program “The Apprentice”.  Whilst the town doesn’t seem to be the thriving sea side resort it once was, may be now is the time to visit so the fantastic sandy beaches can be enjoyed in relative peace?

There is nothing like a trip to the fishing and harbour town of Whitstable, with Tankerton and Herne Bay nearby.  Kentish charm has been retained throughout the years in Whitstable, and with its fabulous restaurants and many art galleries, fantastic fresh sea food and one-off clothing boutiques along Harbour Street, both the young and old are drawn for holidays here!

The Kentish towns of Dartford, Sittingbourne, Orpington, Maidstone, Tonbridge and Ashford are all popular car hire locations with easyCar.com and with such great accessibility to the M25 motorway and other major road links into and out of London, it is easy to see why.
