Best car hire options in Buxton for hiking trips?

Lisa Parker•2 months ago•296 views•Peak District

I'm planning a hiking trip to Buxton 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 Sixt. They have a location near the train station and their prices are competitive. I hired a Kia Sportage from them last summer and it was perfect for the narrow roads around the area.

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

We had a good experience with Thrifty last year. They offer free delivery to your accommodation which was really convenient. Their staff were helpful and the booking process was straightforward.
