Best car hire options in Penrith for hiking trips?

James Roberts•1 month ago•737 views•Lake District

I'm planning a hiking trip to Penrith 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!

If you're looking for something budget-friendly, try Yorkshire Vehicles. 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 Local Wheels last year. They offer free delivery to your accommodation which was really convenient. Their staff were helpful and the booking process was straightforward.
