KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Buxton

  • Before booking your car hire in Buxton, you should consider that Buxton is a small town in the Peak District of England, and its roads can sometimes be narrow and winding, particularly in the surrounding countryside. With your car, you will have the freedom to visit locations such as Chatsworth House, located approximately a 30-minute drive from Buxton. You can also spend the day in Dovedale, a valley in the Peak District known for its limestone cliffs, stepping stones across the River Dove, and scenic walking paths. It's a great place for a tranquil walk and enjoying nature.
  • The closest airport to Buxton is Manchester Airport (MAN), which is located approximately 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Buxton. You can collect your hire car from Manchester Airport from the airport’s Car Rental Village, which is services with a free shuttle bus transfer that departs every 10 minutes from each terminal. At the Car Rental Village, you can choose between several major car hire companies such as Avis, Sixt and Europcar. The drive from the airport to Buxton takes approximately 50 minutes, depending on the road conditions.

Watch for signs indicating animal crossings and reduce your speed in these areas. Buxton also attracts a significant number of tourists, especially during the summer months. Increased traffic and congestion can occur, particularly in popular areas and during events or festivals. Plan your journeys accordingly and be patient.
