Car locations

Our cars are available to pick up from Oxenholme, Windermere and Penrith train stations. The vehicles are located either at the station car parks or very close by.




All vehicles have roof-mounted racks for two cycles (bike rack keys are in the glovebox). So you can either bring your own bikes, or hire bikes locally when you arrive. The Lake District and Cumbria have fantastic networks of cycle ways, both on- and off-road.
