Top tips for renting a car in Cornwall

  • Enjoy a relaxing holiday in Cornwall with the flexibility of your very own car hire. With the roads in Cornwall being of the highest standard, you will find that any car you choose to hire will be well suited to the terrain. During the peak season Cornwall can get extremely busy with tourists though, so opting for a smaller, more compact, car might be useful for when it comes to parking in the towns and at the beaches. As some of the country roads can get narrow too, you might also find smaller cars better suited in general for driving around the county.
  • It is important that you abide by the rules of the road when you are driving your car hire in Cornwall. If you have children in the car with you that are younger than 12 or shorter than 135cm tall, then it is your responsibility to make sure that they are in a child seat that is correctly sized for them. Everyone, at all times, must also be wearing their seat belt whilst in the vehicle. Drink driving is a serious crime and, should you get pulled over by police, they might require a breath test. The drink-driving limit is 0.5 mg of alcohol per ml of blood so ensure you do not have any alcohol prior to driving your car hire.
  • If you want to do your bit for the environment then you can choose a car hire that has lower emissions. For example, if you choose a hybrid car then the vehicle will run on both petrol and electricity, which means it releases less greenhouse gases. One of the good things about hiring these cars in Cornwall is that there are lots of electric charge points around the county where you can charge your vehicle. You will also find lots of petrol stations around the country which makes driving even more convenient.
  • Small rental cars in Cornwall are around 50% cheaper than other car types, on average
