Affordable car rental in Matlock for a weekend trip?

Sarah Johnson•today•202 views•Peak District

Has anyone hired a car from Matlock 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've found Wales Car Hire 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.

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

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.
