Booking tips for South Croydon
A few practical things that help journeys from South Croydon go smoothly.
Friday and Saturday nights
Brighton Road gets busy at weekends, and many people want a car at the same time when the restaurants close. If you know when you will finish, book a pickup in advance rather than calling at the last minute.
School traffic
Roads near the schools in South Croydon get crowded at drop-off and pick-up times. For a regular school run, we plan around the busiest few minutes.
