I am experimenting with the BLOGGER , post by email feature. This blog was sent via email from my laptop, whilst having a nice Salmon & Cheese Bagel at Au Bon Pain at the Jungceylon Shopping Mall in Patong on the island of Phuket.
I am about the visit the Tipoa Car Hire, which is just across the road near the Patong Hard Rock Cafe !

Stansted Airport Car Hire - Great Britain
Walk out of arrivals after baggage claim and look left |
Hertz, Sixt, Europcar, Enterprise, Alamo and more |
Rental Car suppliers who are linked to the online Tipoa booking system are broken down into two categories; "on-airport" & "off airport".
The off-airport ones are very nearby on the perimeter of the airport and are served by frequent free shuttle buses. These suppliers offer normally the lowest rates.
On this occasion I made my way to Sixt to present my voucher. It is worth noting that just on the outside pillar of the SIXT office the out-of-hours key drop box is located.
From whichever car supplier Tipoa has chosen for your on-airport reservation at Stansted, exit through the first large revolving door you come to on your left on leaving the rental car counter. Then turn immediate left down the ramp and follow the overhead signs.
All of the on-airport rental companies are a maximum of a 5 minute walk under a covered walkway. If you reservation is for a non-airport supplier, such as Green Motion, exit the airport in the same way and wait at the rental car shuttle bus stop.
The walkway is well signposted by each of the rental car suppliers.
Follow signs for the M11 to drive the London, it is well signposted. London is approximately a 45 minute drive. Enjoy your Tipoa Rental Car !
Returning your rental car to Heathrow Airport
On this occasion my rental was a one-way hire, collecting at SIXT Stansted and returning the hire car to Heathrow.
Sixt Heathrow are located very close to the perimeter of the airport, opposite the Jurys Inn Hotel, with access to their office via the BP fuel station on the A30. This was every convenient for filing the diesel car up before my return.

The polish staff were very organised and friendly. The whole process took less than 5 minutes. ( but this was early Sunday morning). Then the Sixt shuttle bus driver drove me to terminal 3 , in the brand new mercedes bus.
Make sure you check in advance which terminal at Heathrow, your airlines uses. Given my entire four day experience, I can highly recommend Sixt Car Hire.
