Car rental at the Exeter International Airport

Car Rental Stations

Exeter International Airport works with numerous car rental companies such as Hertz, Avis, and Europcar. The rental desks are accessible directly from the arrivals hall. It’s advisable to compare prices with our car rental platform before your travel.

Car Class Recommendations

If you're travelling as a family, a standard or full-size car is recommended for comfort and storage space. Solo travellers or couples may find a mini or compact car more suitable.

Accessibility and Transport

Located just off the A30, the airport is easily reached by car or taxi. There are also several bus services operating to and from Exeter city centre, which is just 8 miles away. The nearest train station, Digby and Sowton, is an 11-minute drive from the airport.

Driving in the South West

Driving in South West England isn't very different from the rest of the UK. However, it's necessary to be aware of narrow country roads and unexpected bends if you're planning to explore the Devon countryside. Also, remember to stay on the left side of the road!

Nearby Cities and Attractions

Exeter is a city rich in history and culture. Ottery St Mary, Budleigh Salterton, and the coastal city of Exmouth are reachable within an hour's drive from the airport. Make sure to check out the Devon Cliffs and Dartmoor National Park if you're a nature lover, and don't forget to enjoy a Devonshire cream tea!

Looking for Fuel?

Heading out from Exeter International Airport, you'll find a Shell and BP gas station less than 10 minutes away upon exiting the airport perimeter, both open 24 hours.

Local Climate

South West England enjoys a milder climate compared to the north, due to its close proximity to the sea. Remember to keep an umbrella handy as it can be a bit rainy at times!

Enjoy your trip and we look forward to serving you with your car rental needs at Exeter International Airport!
