KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Harrogate

  • Hire a car in Harrogate to experience the freedom to explore at your own pace without relying on public transport. Some amazing destinations are only accessible by car, such as the Yorkshire dales, the Lake District, and Whitby. Hiring a car will also give you the freedom to change your plans last minute without having to worry about public transport timetables.
  • You can often find the best deals for car hire in Harrogate by searching in advance and comparing offers on KAYAK. Alternatively, you can book at a kiosk when you arrive at Harrogate Airport, but fewer car choices will be available. In addition, during peak seasons, you may find it difficult to secure a car altogether if you book last minute. The staff at these kiosks is usually very knowledgeable about the local area and can offer you some great tips on where to go and what to see. The car hire companies at Harrogate Airport are Alamo, Easirent, Hertz, and Firefly. When using the kiosks, have your driving licence and credit card ready.
  • The type of car you hire in Harrogate will significantly impact the cost. If you are only planning on driving around Harrogate, then a small economy car will be fine and won’t cost you much. However, if you are planning on driving out to the Yorkshire Dales or the Lake District, you may need a larger SUV from a car hire company in Harrogate, especially if you're travelling in a group. It will also be more comfortable to drive a car that can handle the winding roads and hills. Hiring a larger car will cost more, but it will be worth it when you get to your destination.
  • One way to save money when hiring a car in Harrogate is to avoid the congestion charges. These charges apply to vehicles that drive into the city centre during peak times. Therefore, if you are planning on driving into the city centre, it is best to do so outside these times. The congestion charge hours are Monday to Friday from 7 am to 6 pm.
  • Book your car hire in Harrogate at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact hire cars in Harrogate are around 22% cheaper than other car types, on average

If caught speeding in a hire car in Harrogate, you may also have to pay an additional fee to the car hire company.

  • Where are the best places to park in Harrogate?

    The best places to park in Harrogate depend on where you are going. If you are planning on visiting the city centre, then there are a few public car parks that you can use.

However, if you are planning on driving out of the city, plenty of free parking is available. Just be sure to read the signs as some car parks have time limits.

Excellent customer service, value for money and convenient location. The car was amazing but I found items from the previous renter including keys and there was no window fluid, and the windows were dirty. But my only frustration was no one answered the phone on the two occasions I needed information including extending the rental.
