Book Your Holyhead Car Rental, Collect When Leaving Holyhead Ferries

By David Phillips

When you are planning your Anglesey visit, a Holyhead car rental can make things so much easier for you to get around the island. Even if you are intending to visit the area on business on the Cardiff Anglesey flight, Holyhead car hire firms facilitate your island stay. There again you may be arriving on the London Holyhead train or on the Dublin ferry from Ireland, looking for a car to complete your travel arrangements.

So whether you are a train, coach, ferry or air passenger, you want to secure your best Holyhead car hire package so you can put aside any last minute worries. With the developments in and around the Port of Holyhead in recent years, as well as the more recent opening of the Anglesey Cardiff airlink, options for Holyhead car rentals have improved.

The main car hire providers in and around Holyhead are branches of national car rental companies and so you know that there will be possibilities for one way car hire, where you leave the car at the onward destination. All three of the main Holyhead car rental providers offer a wide range of vehicles to chose from, whether you want a small Fiesta model, a mid-range Mondeo, a Mercedes salon, or perhaps a 7 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.

You can find the compound for Hertz, one of the car hire firms, located near the Fishing harbour at the Port of Holyhead, while Quayside garage is based at Gaerwen and Practical Car and Van Rental is in Valley. As you arrive on your Cardiff Anglesey flight at the airport at RAF Valley, your car will be waiting for you with a full tank of fuel, and all you need do is complete the required paperwork and you're ready to go.

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.

Now you have booked your hire car for your Anglesey visit, what are the minimum requirements to show you are legally covered to drive the car? You are strongly advised to have your driving licence with you. It may also be helpful to have a copy of an utility bill for your home address, while payment will be required either by debit or credit card.

For making bookings with these car hire companies the best time to contact them is between 9 and 5 on Monday to Saturday, while Sundays may not be a good time to get through. You want to arrive on Anglesey for your business engagement or vacation without hassle, and so your best move is to book your Holyhead car rental early and enjoy the experience.
