If you’re intending to fully explore the architectural attractions and historic sites in the city of Exeter itself, then your best bet will be to hire the proverbial city car. Choose an economical compact model, which will also aid with efficient fuel consumption if you’re spending a lot of time in city traffic in low gear. If you’re arriving with the intention of exploring the outlying areas of the city and rural Devon in general, then you can go for an MPV or a larger sedan, or even a minibus if you’re travelling in a bigger group. The weather in summer is also balmy enough to opt for a convertible. Take these factors into account when booking car hire in Exeter.
There are quite a few areas of Exeter where you’ll need to make sure you stay below the 20mph speed limit, so it’s important to keep checking for signs as you’re driving through town. Other areas in the town are zoned at 30mph, while you can travel from Exeter to smaller towns at 70mph. Be aware of the large number of speed cameras in the area too, particularly on the A380.
The city council operates several parking areas across the city, including Princesshay 3 and Magdalen Street car park, right in the city centre. You’ll pay a blanket price for these, from about £1 for 2h up to £3.50 for all-day parking. There are also commercial car parks available, the point being that you can expect to pay for parking virtually everywhere in Exeter.

When hiring a car in Exeter you should consider your driving itinerary and make the fuel policy decision based on that, If you are not driving much it makes no sense to opt for the full tank policy. Paying for a full tank of petrol is a waste of money as you will not get refunded on any fuel that you return in the vehicle. The full-to-full policy is far more popular, with drivers having the freedom to fill as they go and return the car with the same level of fuel they found it with.
The UK is similar to most countries in that it allows car rental from 21 years of age, on the condition you have been a licence holder for longer than a year. There are certain agencies that will only let you hire a vehicle from 23, and most will charge a young drivers fee if under 25. There is sometimes an upper limit on car hire of 70, but this is at the discretion of the car hire company.

Some Exeter car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Exeter.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Exeter car hire.
