Top tips for hiring a car at Exeter Airport

  • Car hire at Exeter Airport is a great choice. It’s a small but busy airport in east Devon. You’ll find that it’s around 4 miles from the city of Exeter itself and connected to the A30 dual carriageway to the south and the M5 in the west. It’s a popular starting point for a touring holiday and travelling by hire car will make this very comfortable and easy. The landscape is full of small villages and quaint towns that are hard to reach quickly by public transport so a hire car will make the best use of your time.
  • The roads from the airport into Exeter tend to get very congested on weekends and summer evenings so if you plan to visit the city it might be best to wait for a weekday.
  • Returning your car to Exeter Airport is a straightforward process. As you approach the airport you will see the signs for the car hire facility. You simply park in a free bay, remove your personal belongings and take your keys and documents to the car hire desk. The car will be checked and you will be free to go. If you arrive out-of-hours you can use a drop-box for your keys and the car will be checked the next day.
  • The majority of firms operating car hires at Exeter Airport are open from 08:00 to 20:00, depending on the day of the week. On weekends there are reduced hours, usually from 10:00 until 16:00. If you prefer to deal with staff face-to-face then arrange to collect and return your car during these hours.
  • Book your car hire at Exeter Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Friendly and professional pick up. Very convenient parking bay close to airport. Slightly nervous that my key was safe when dropping off since the office was shut- would have like some ‘receipt’ that I’d returned the car. But overall excellent
