Top Tips for hiring a van in Torquay

  • Hiring a van in Torquay offers numerous advantages over alternative transport options. With a van, you can easily explore attractions like Babbacombe Model Village, Kents Cavern, and Cockington Country Park, all of which are more accessible with the convenience and flexibility of your vehicle. Unlike public transport, a van allows you to travel at your own pace, making the most of your time in Torquay. Choose Torquay van hire for a stress-free and enjoyable trip.
  • When driving a van in Torquay, be aware of the narrow and winding roads, especially in the town centre and coastal areas. Take extra caution while manoeuvring through tight spaces and roundabouts. Additionally, be mindful of pedestrians, particularly in busy areas like the harbourside and shopping districts. Stay alert, obey traffic rules, and adapt your driving style to the unique characteristics of Torquay's cityscape for a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • When it comes to getting Torquay van hire at the airport, you can easily find multiple car hire providers operating nearby. At Exeter Airport (EXT), which serves Torquay, the car hire desks are located in the Arrivals area of the main terminal. To reach the car hire desks, simply follow the signs for Car Hire, after collecting your luggage and clearing Customs. Remember to book your vehicle in advance to ensure availability upon arrival.
  • When driving a van in Torquay, be aware of rush hour traffic patterns and certain challenging road conditions. Rush hour in Torquay typically occurs between 07:30 to 09:30 and 16:30 to 18:30 on weekdays, with increased congestion on roads such as A3022 (Newton Road), A379 (Teignmouth Road), and A380 (South Devon Highway). During winter, Torquay and its surrounding areas may experience occasional snowfall, leading to potentially hazardous driving conditions, especially on hilly roads like Babbacombe Road and St Marychurch Road.
