KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Paignton

  • Car hire in Paignton allows you more flexibility, compared to if you were to make the same journey via an alternative mode of transport. This is because you’ll be able to depart and arrive at a time suitable for you, as well as travel directly to your destination. For instance, if you were to drive to Cockington, you can do so in around 15min. Alternatively, this journey takes approximately 35min and occasionally requires a transfer.
  • Exeter Airport (EXT) is very close to Paignton and boasts a range of car hire companies for you to pick from. Once you’ve landed and passed though security and baggage collection, you’ll be able to locate the agencies with ease. For example, Budget can be found in the Arrivals Hall, whilst Enterprise is a quick shuttle ride away. You’ll get the keys from your Paignton car hire provider once you have paid using a card in your name, shown a valid ID, and also completed all the necessary documentation.
  • Using a car hire in Paignton, you’ll see it’s a busy seaside town that’s popular with locals and tourists. As there are no rules on jaywalking in England, you should drive with care in the town, as people will cross the roads in areas that aren’t designated for pedestrians. This is especially the case during the peak summer season. You should also keep an eye out for those travelling on a bicycle or motorbike. For everyone’s safety, it’s good practise to regularly check your mirrors.
  • When driving a Paignton hire car, you will see the traffic can get very busy, which is especially true during rush hour. This starts at about 8:00 to 9:00 and around 17:00 to 18:00. If you prefer driving on roads which aren’t as busy, then you should look to avoid these times. One of the most congested roads is the B3201, which runs along the seafront. You’ll likely find that the back roads, such as Oldway Road, are less busy.
  • Book your car hire in Paignton at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact hire cars in Paignton are around 55% cheaper than other car types, on average
