Question 1

What are the major attractions in Windermere?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Windermere is all organized but your itinerary is looking a little empty, we can give you a helping hand.

Not far from the heart of the city, Lake Windermere is one sight you might like to add to your to-do list. If you still have some space on that schedule, World of Beatrix Potter and Bowness Pier will keep you busy as well.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Windermere?

Accepted Answer

With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it'd be much harder to explore everything that Keswick, 18 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Derwentwater, Catbells Lakeland Walk and Cumberland Pencil Museum. The locals are also likely to point you toward Appleby-in-Westmorland, 25 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it's Appleby Castle. (But we'd also recommend Courtyard Gallery and Appleby Golf Club.)

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Windermere?

Accepted Answer

With your very own rental car, Windermere is yours to enjoy. People travel to this charming city for a host of reasons, and here at CarRentals.com we have the perfect car for each of them. A major priority for families is space (and legroom). Depending on the size of the family, that could mean anything from a full-size car to an SUV. Budget-conscious travelers usually prefer the affordability and great mileage of our smaller rentals, such as an economy or a mini. If you'd like to create an impression in Windermere, you could even browse our special category for a vehicle that will make any car fan weak at the knees.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Windermere?

Accepted Answer

For some of us, owning a prestige vehicle is a little (or a lot!) out of reach. But renting the car of your dreams is as easy as a few clicks! Imagine the joy of tearing down the open road in a swanky sports car, even if it's only for a day or two. Or maybe all you need is a reliable set of wheels to get you safely from point A to point B. Flashy or frugal? Either way, there's a rental car to suit your style in Windermere.

Question 5

What side of the road do they drive on in Windermere?
