Best car hire options in Ambleside for hiking trips?

Sarah Johnson2 months ago957 viewsLake District

I'm planning a hiking trip to Ambleside next month and need to hire a car to access some of the trails. Does anyone have recommendations for reliable car hire companies in the area? Ideally looking for something affordable but reliable, and a car that can handle some rough tracks. Any tips on booking in advance vs. on arrival? Thanks!

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

I've found Europcar to be the most reliable in the area. They're not always the cheapest, but their vehicles are newer and they don't hit you with unexpected charges at the end. Worth paying a bit extra for peace of mind.
