Cheap Car Rental at Digby & Sowton

Consider downloading offline maps or carrying a backup GPS in case the station's network signal is poor.

When renting a car, especially if you’re arriving by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Most suppliers offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

Before your trip, check online for available vehicles to ensure you find your ideal car.

Choose car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these often indicate better service, newer cars, and more convenient pickup locations. At Digby & Sowton, we have car hire deals from suppliers. Among them Easirent has a rating of 4.9, Enterprise has a rating of 3.6 and Routes has a rating of 0.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Exeter, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70
