Tips

Before you set off

No motorway at the gate

The airport is reached on A-roads: the A658 links it with the A65 and A660 towards Leeds. Allow extra time in the rush hour.

Into the Dales

Skipton, Malham and Grassington are within easy reach. Dales roads are narrow and often stone-walled, so take bends slowly and watch for sheep.

Leeds city centre

Central Leeds has busy one-way systems. A multi-storey car park or one of the Park & Ride sites is usually easier than hunting for a street space.

Credit card for the deposit

Most suppliers block a deposit on a credit card in the main driver's name. Filter by "Cards accepted at pick-up" if you'd rather use a debit card.
