Car hire in Newquay

Enjoy flexible, convenient car hire in Newquay from our rental station conveniently located at the airport, just outside the arrivals hall. To reach us by public transport, the bus service between Newquay and Padstow stops at the airport (route number A5). The closest train station is in Newquay, six miles away.

Thanks to our wide range of vehicles, you can choose the car to suit you, wherever you’re going and however much you need to carry! Choose one of our smaller models if you’re staying local and will be spending your time exploring Newquay and nearby attractions such as Newquay Zoo or the local beaches. For longer journeys to Cornwall’s stunning countryside and rugged coastlines, a larger car or SUV will get you around in comfort.

Short and long term rental options give you the flexibility to choose a deal to suit you, whether that’s a day, a week or a month. And, for total convenience, you can pick up and drop off at different locations to suit you!

Travel safely

As part of our safety programme, all our vehicles are rigorously cleaned with organic disinfectants and we do everything to offer you a contactless experience.

Newquay is known as England’s surfing capital and in summer attracts surfers and young party-goers who spend their days at the beach and the evenings enjoying the city’s buzzing nightlife! But Newquay is a great place for families too and the quieter beaches and child-friendly attractions such as Newquay Zoo will keep kids entertained. Foodies will appreciate the trendy beachside restaurants owned by celebrity chefs!

Want to explore more of what Cornwall has to offer? Take a trip an hour south to St Ives, considered by many the most beautiful town in Cornwall. Golden beaches, turquoise sea, pretty pastel-coloured beach huts, slate-roofed houses, excellent restaurants and quirky shops – what more could you possibly want? If you’re an art lover, there’s more to enjoy in the many art galleries displaying works by local artists such as Barbara Hepworth, most notably the Tate Gallery St Ives.

For a change of pace after all that relaxing sea air, maybe you’d like to enjoy some city life? Bristol is a little less than three hours away and offers an eclectic experience with something for everyone. Art lovers can take a self-guided Banksy walking tour – a great way to see the city as well as learning more about the famous artist and his works. And if you’re an adrenaline junky, head to The Wave, an inland surf centre where you can enjoy surfing with or without an instructor depending on your ability!
