When you are planning your Anglesey visit, a Holyhead car rental can make things so much easier for you to get around the island. Even if you are intending to visit the area on business on the Cardiff Anglesey flight, Holyhead car hire firms facilitate your island stay. There again you may be arriving on the London Holyhead train or on the Dublin ferry from Ireland, looking for a car to complete your travel arrangements.
Don’t leave booking your Holyhead car hire until the last moment, whichever way you plan to get to the island, by train, ferry, coach or flight from Cardiff. The service for car rentals in Holyhead has increased with the recent growth and investment around the Port of Holyhead and with the opening of Anglesey Airport at RAF Valley, providing the north south Wales air link.
The main car hire providers in and around Holyhead are branches of national car rental companies and so you know that there will be possibilities for one way car hire, where you leave the car at the onward destination. All three of the main Holyhead car rental providers offer a wide range of vehicles to chose from, whether you want a small Fiesta model, a mid-range Mondeo, a Mercedes salon, or perhaps a 7 seater people carrier.
Whilst it cannot be guaranteed by the car hire firm, you may be able to book an automatic drive vehicle, as well as have a choice between unleaded petrol and diesel, so it’s best to book early to be assured. You will find that Holyhead car rental firms also provide a minibus service for between 12 and 17 passengers, while the minimum hiring period offered by all three firms near Holyhead Port is one day.
Near the road leading to the fishing harbour at Holyhead Port is the Hertz car hire firm compound, while Practical Car and Van Rental is located in Valley, while Quayside Garage rentals is in Gaerwen. A special meet and greet service is offered by all three companies if you are arriving at Anglesey Airport from Cardiff Wales, where you can complete the required paperwork and the car fuel tank will be full.
You may also find that your Holyhead car rental firm may give you an option to top up the daily charge with an extra premium which then waives the excess in the event of an accident. Depending on the insurance policy and size of vehicle, the excess you may have to pay on your Holyhead car hire following an accident can vary from around 500 up to 600, so it may be a better option to pay a slightly higher daily premium.
Now you have booked your hire car for your Anglesey visit, what are the minimum requirements to show you are legally covered to drive the car? You are strongly advised to have your driving licence with you. It may also be helpful to have a copy of an utility bill for your home address, while payment will be required either by debit or credit card.
It is best to contact these companies between 9 and 5 Monday to Friday for bookings, as they may not be available on Sundays. To make the most of your time on Anglesey, whether on business or holiday, the best option is to book your Holyhead car rental in good time, meaning it’s one less thing to worry about when you arrive on the island.
