Exeter Getting there & around

Getting around

Car & motorcycle

Car

The tourist office provides a list of car-hire offices; try Europcar (275398; Water Lane).

There are several large city centre car parks, but if you’d rather not drive into the city, there are park and ride schemes from car parks at Sowton (Bus PR4), Matford (Bus PR5), Digby Rd (Bus PR3) and Honiton Rd (PR2). Connecting buses go to the city every 10 minutes.

Bus

Exeter is well served by public transport. The one-day Dayrider pass (£4) gives unlimited transport on Stagecoach’s Exeter buses. Bus N links St David’s and Central train stations and passes near the bus station.
