Booking and planning advice

Practical tips for a smooth hire: when you book, think about luggage volume, whether you need child seats, and if your itinerary requires multiple vehicles. Booking and planning advice includes selecting the right size, allowing space for bulky kit (surfboards or musical instruments) and booking early for busy summer weekends around Dartmouth and Brixham.

• Choose a vehicle with a little extra space — better to have room than to squeeze luggage in.
• Ask about 24/7 availability if you have late flights or early starts.
• For multiple drop-offs, discuss coordinated scheduling with the operator to avoid delays.
