Airport Car Rental
As one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, London has enough landmarks and attractions to be explored for weeks. Not only that, London Heathrow has connections with cities all over the world. But the other good thing about this metropolis is that it is near a number of interesting English destinations that can be easily visited on a day trip if you get a rental car. Here are three of them: Brighton. Arguably the most famous resort town in the United Kingdom, Brighton is a great place to visit for a seaside escape. Even if you’re in England during the autumn or winter months, the city has plenty of reasons to visit. These include not only the beaches and the famous Brighton Pier, but also many historic streets and buildings, the lavish Royal Pavilion, the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery, and the Brighton Fishing Museum. Located some 130 km (80 miles) south of London, Brighton can be reached in less than two hours.
