Affordable car rental in Alston for a weekend trip?

Sarah Johnson•2 weeks ago•790 views•Northern England

Has anyone hired a car from Alston recently? I'll be arriving by train and need to rent a car for about a week to explore the surrounding areas. Looking for recommendations on which companies have offices near the station, typical costs, and any tips for getting the best deal. Also, are there any particular models you'd recommend for the local roads?

I'd recommend checking out Europcar. They have a location near the train station and their prices are competitive. I hired a Vauxhall Astra from them last summer and it was perfect for the narrow roads around the area.

If you're looking for something budget-friendly, try Hertz. They're a local firm with good rates. The cars aren't the newest but they're reliable and perfect for exploring the area.

I'd recommend checking out Highland Motors. They have a location near the train station and their prices are competitive. I hired a Ford Focus from them last summer and it was perfect for the narrow roads around the area.
