Where to collect your car

Some brands, including Europcar and Avis, are based at the airport itself. Enterprise, National and Alamo work from Fair Oak Farm in Clyst Honiton, a short distance from the terminal. The pick-up type on every offer shows whether you collect at the airport or nearby, and your voucher has the exact address and collection instructions.

Tips

Before you set off

M5 junction 29

The airport road joins the A30 near M5 junction 29. Go north for Bristol, or take the A30 or A38 west.

Think compact

Devon's lanes are narrow and often high-hedged. A smaller car is easier to pass in and to park in seaside villages.

Dartmoor

Ponies and sheep roam the open moor, and cattle grids mark its edges. Slow down on the unfenced roads.

Park & Ride in Exeter

Park & Ride sites on the edge of the city are easier than finding a space near the cathedral.
