It's pretty easy to get around the town, so don't feel restricted in your Barnstaple car hire choices. If you're visiting by yourself or as a couple and going to spend most of your time in the built-up areas, you can hire a city car or a small sedan. Larger parties and families can opt for an MPV, which will provide lots of space and large windows for sightseeing. The same can be said if you want to take a couple of road trips in North Devon, unless you plan on going off the beaten track. In that case, a 4WD makes a good option.
