Get a Holyhead Car Rental, Car Rentals in Holyhead Meet You Off Dublin Holyhead Ferry

By David Phillips

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.

You will find that most car hire companies around Holyhead are affiliated with national or international operators, which means you can choose a one way car hire to your destination, such as an airport or business location. There is a wide choice of vehicle offered by car rentals in Holyhead, from the family sized, 7 seater people carrier to a Mercedes or Mondeo to the small Fiesta or Polo.

If you give enough notice the car rental firms may be able to reserve an automatic drive vehicle for you, and you may have the choice of a diesel engine or unleaded option, but this cannot be guaranteed for a given model. The Holyhead car rentals companies also offer minibuses which can carry between 12 and 17 people. A minimum rental period for hire cars from any of the firms operating near Holyhead Port is one day.

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.

The best time to get through to the car hire companies in Holyhead is between 9 and 5 on a Monday through to Saturday, while on Sundays you may not get an answer. Now that you have organised what you want to do on Anglesey, just make sure your visit is relaxing and hassle free, so book your Holyhead car rental as early as you can for maximum flexibility.
