Best car hire options in Windermere for hiking trips?
I'm planning a hiking trip to Windermere 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've found Alamo 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.
I'd recommend checking out Avis. They have a location near the train station and their prices are competitive. I hired a Ford Kuga from them last summer and it was perfect for the narrow roads around the area.
SDVH offers premium vehicle hire services in Windermere and throughout the UK with a range of options for all your hiking and outdoor activity transportation needs.
