Book Your Holyhead Car Rental, Collect When Leaving Holyhead Ferries
August 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment
When you plan a visit to Holyhead, car rental may be one of your top considerations if you want your Anglesey island vacation to go smoothly. Equally, you may be searching for car rentals in Holyhead because you are visiting the island on business by air from Cardiff Wales International. There’s also the possibility that as someone using the Dublin Holyhead ferry as foot passenger, you need a car for your onward journey in the UK.
Put aside any risk of last minute problems by securing the best Holyhead car hire arrangements, however you intend to reach the island, by coach, ferry, plane, or train. You will find that your choices for car rentals in Holyhead have increased, with the arrival of the new Anglesey Airport facility at RAF Valley and more recently increased investment at Holyhead Port.
It is possible to choose one way car hire to your destination as most of the car rentals in Holyhead are branches of international or national car hire companies, with facilities at many large transport hubs like railway stations and airports. You will have a wide choice of cars to select from, including a Fiesta, or mid range Mondeo, a Mercedes, up to a family, seven seater people carrier.
It may be possible to request a diesel option instead of unleaded petrol, but this cannot always be guaranteed, while automatic drive can be organised if enough notice is given. As well as standard car rentals in Holyhead, these companies can also offer minibuses with seating for between 12 and 17 people. The minimum rental period for your Holyhead car hire will be one day, according to all three providers who operate from or near to the port.
One of the car hire firms, Hertz, has a compound next to Holyhead Port, near the road leading to the Fishing harbour, while the others, Quayside Garage and Practical Car and Van Rental, are based at Gaerwen and Valley respectively. All three will arrange a special meet and greet service for air passengers arriving at Anglesey Airport at RAF Valley, where your car will have a full tank of fuel and paperwork will be completed.
When you do the paperwork your Holyhead car rental firm will offer you the choice of paying a little premium on your daily charge, which would mean if you have an accident, the excess on the insurance policy is waived. This is an important consideration and the potential excess payable on your Holyhead car hire will depend on the policy and size of hire vehicle. Amounts vary from around 450 to 600, so a small extra each day may be a good option.
What do you need to provide to make sure all the paperwork is straightforward? At a minimum you will need proof that you are legally entitled to drive a vehicle, so make sure you have your driving licence. Some of the car hire firms may also ask for an utility bill, for proof of address. Payment will usually be by credit or debit 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.
