Location information for Exeter

Introduction

Some years following the Roman invasion of England, the Romans decided to build a fortress near a crossing at the River Exe. Parts of those fortified walls are still standing. Exeter is an excellent operating base for trips through the rough landscape of the county of Devon.

Population

The city has approximately 120,000 inhabitants.

Location

Exeter is located in the southwest of England in the county of Devon. The old center was built on the east bank of the River Exe which turns into a delta further south.

Economy

Being the administrative capital of the county of Devon, the government is one of the city's main employers. The city also houses the University of Exeter and one of the most prominent meteorological institutes in the world: The Met Office. Tourism also plays an important role, but only 7% of the working population is employed in tourism, compared with 13% in the entire county of Devon. The airline Flybe is also an important employer in Exeter.

Airports

Exeter International Airport is situated just east of the city. It's easily reachable by rental car: from the city center you first take Frog Street and then you take the B3183 to the airport.

Public Transport

Exeter's central bus station is located in High Street, a pedestrian street, except for buses and bicycles. Most city buses are exploited by Stagecoach South West; some lines are exploited by Dartline. There are also bus connections with places in the southwest of England, as well as with destinations further out such as Heathrow Airport and the British capital London.

Traffic and Parking

Finding your way around Exeter isn't difficult and finding a free parking place shouldn't be a problem either. There are several parking garages in and around the city center. There are also special P+R areas on the verge of the city where you can park your rental car and travel to the center in special Park + Ride buses. These parking lots are indicated by color: Red (Honiton Road), Green (Matford) and Blue (Sowton).

Hotels

Exeter has no shortage of accommodations ranging from basic guesthouses to luxurious hotels and everything in between. Outside the city you'll find many typical British cottages. These are sometimes centuries old which makes for an attractive ambiance.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Hire the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

 What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

 How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

 When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
