There are lots of reasons to take a car hire tour of Derbyshire, but the market towns and villages alone are a huge attraction (and it’s worth visiting as many as possible). They’re quite spread out, so reaching them without a car would be complicated. Buxton, for example, with its natural thermal springs is set deep in the Peak District. An 11 mile (around 30min) drive from Buxton is the beautiful village of Edale, also hidden among the hills; this is the starting point of the Pennine Way, the UK’s best-known long distance walking route. A drive of 27 miles (roughly 50min) from Edale will bring you to the tiny limestone village of Parwich, right on the edge of the Peak District. The larger county town of Derby is another 20 miles (about 43min) along the road and offers a more cosmopolitan slice of Derbyshire life in the centre of the county.
There are no motorways in Derbyshire, only major A-roads and a series of minor roads in more rural areas. There are no tolls either. You will find the quality of the road surface to be very good, even on the minor roads, and great pride is taken in their upkeep. A larger car would be preferable to a standard small vehicle; it will give you greater visibility and comfort when on the road. A GPS would make a good added extra too, particularly if you plan to explore the hills and villages of the Peak District. Drivers do need to be alert for agricultural vehicles and animal herds on the roads in rural areas.
Depending on the car hire company, you will need to be either 21 or 23 to hire a car in the UK. All drivers under 25 will generally pay a surcharge, and this may also be applied to older drivers, usually over 70 years of age. If you fall into this age bracket, it's worth checking this out in advance.
