I would like to pick up a rental car at Oxenholme Train Station and return to the same location. I am travelling from Cheltenham by train.

Agent

There are no longer any rental car companies based at Oxenholme railway station. It is a very small but popular station serving the Lake District. To locate the nearest rental car location it is best to search on a laptop/PC/tablet rather than a mobile device. Enter “Oxenholme” and choose "Oxenholme Kendal” together with your dates and times and press search. At STEP2 you will see an interactive map, which you can zoom in and out and drag left and right. Icons will appear when there is availability nearby. If you are travelling by rail North to Oxenholme, you can leave the train at Lancaster (for example) and collect your rental car there. Lancaster is 20 miles away (30 minutes) to Oxenholme on the motorway. Alternatively KENDAL which is 2 miles north of Oxenholme sometimes has cars.

Client

Oh my train ticket goes to Oxenholme, thinking that was the nearest to Buttermere. So the only oportunity is to leave the train at Lancaster and drive with the rental car from Oxenholme to my final destination Buttermere?

Agent

Yes, there are no car hire suppliers located closer to Oxenholme.

Client

What would the charge be from Lancaster for a week please? The pick up will be mid afternoon on the 29th September and drop off on the 5th of October.

Agent

Just insert "Lancaster" in the search machine together with your dates and times you want to rent a car and press "SEARCH". The cars shown are available based on your search criteria. The website is in real time.
