Self-drive 9-seater minibus rental in Penrith?

Lisa Parker•2 weeks ago•885 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?

I've found Sixt 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 Europcar last year. They offer free delivery to your accommodation which was really convenient. Their staff were helpful and the booking process was straightforward.
