Self-drive 9-seater minibus rental in Penrith?

Emma Thompson•1 month ago•350 views•Lake District

I need to arrange minibus transport for a family group of 9 people in Penrith. We'll be staying for a week and want to explore the surrounding hiking trails. Is it better to hire a self-drive minibus or use a minibus with a driver for day trips? Any recommendations for reliable companies in the area?

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

I'd recommend checking out Arnold Clark. They have a location near the train station and their prices are competitive. I hired a Ford Focus from them last summer and it was perfect for the narrow roads around the area.

I've used Lake District Hire in {location} several times and they've been great. Their rates are reasonable and the vehicles are well-maintained. They also have a good range of options from small cars to larger SUVs.
