City Car or SUV for Cornwall? Here's How to Choose

Winding lanes, coastal car parks, and the odd tractor blocking the road — North Cornwall isn't exactly built for big vehicles, but sometimes you genuinely need the extra space and clearance. So which hire vehicle actually suits your trip better?

If you're mostly hopping between beaches, popping into Boscastle or Tintagel, and navigating those narrow hedgerow-lined roads around Bude, a city car is often the smarter pick. It's easier to park, cheaper to run, and far less stressful when you're squeezing past an oncoming campervan on a single-track lane. On the other hand, if you've got a family, luggage, and beach kit to haul — or you're planning longer runs across to Dartmoor or up towards Bideford — an SUV gives you the room and comfort to actually enjoy the journey. At LCH Vehicle Hire, both options are available from the Bude base and Launceston branch, every vehicle is under 12 months old, and hire starts from just £36 a day with insurance included and no complicated small print to wade through. 🚗 Which type of vehicle do you usually go for on a road trip, and has Cornwall ever caught you out with its roads?

Got a Motorhome Parked Up in Bude? Here's What Most Visitors Miss

Squeezing a motorhome or caravan down narrow Cornish lanes to find a car park is one of those things that sounds fine in theory, until you're doing it. That's exactly why so many motorhome travellers staying around Bude are hiring a small run-around from LCH Vehicle Hire to explore the area properly, without the stress of manoeuvring something the size of a small house every time you fancy a pasty in Boscastle or a walk at Tintagel.

LCH Vehicle Hire is a family-run business based right here on the Bude Stratton Business Park, and they'll even deliver the car directly to your holiday park or campsite (free within two miles of their branch). Every vehicle is less than 12 months old, standard insurance is included in the price, and cars start from just £36 a day with weekend specials available too. No faff, no hidden small print. Have you been leaving your motorhome parked up and missing out on places because the roads are just too tight? Or have you already tried a run-around hire on a trip like this?

Moving Home on a Budget? A Hire Van Could Save You a Fortune

Hiring a removal company is expensive. For many people in North Cornwall and North Devon, a self-drive van hire is the smarter move. You stay in control of the schedule, you skip the hefty labour costs, and you only pay for the time you actually need the vehicle.

With vans available from just £38 a day at LCH Vehicle Hire in Bude and Launceston, here's how to keep costs down. Book a Luton van with tail lift if you've got bulky furniture — that tail lift alone saves your back and cuts loading time significantly. Opt for a midweek move rather than a weekend if your diary allows, as demand is lower and you'll likely get more flexibility on timing. And if your move is spread across a couple of days, ask about multi-day discounts rather than paying two separate daily rates. Every vehicle is under 12 months old and standard insurance is included in the hire price, so there are no nasty surprises hiding in the small print. What's your biggest stress when moving home — the packing, the driving, or something else entirely? 😅 And have you ever hired a van yourself rather than going with a removal firm?

The Best Beaches Near Bude (Including the Ones Most People Miss)

Everyone knows Bude's main beaches, but some of the most stunning stretches of coastline in North Cornwall are tucked down narrow lanes that are genuinely tricky to reach without your own wheels. 🚗 Crooklets is great for families, Summerleaze is a classic, but venture a little further and you've got Sandymouth (a proper hidden gem with dramatic rock formations), Duckpool (tiny, wild, and worth every minute of the drive), and Millook Haven, which sits at the bottom of one of the steepest hills in Cornwall. These spots don't have bus routes, and parking a motorhome or caravan down those lanes is asking for trouble.

That's exactly where a hire car from LCH Vehicle Hire comes in handy. If you're already parked up on a holiday park or campsite near Bude, you can leave the big rig where it is and pick up a nimble little run-around from as little as £36 a day, with free delivery straight to you within two miles of the Bude branch. Insurance is included, the fleet is less than 12 months old, and there's no faff with the small print. Which beach on your Cornwall bucket list is hardest to reach? Drop it in the comments. 🏖️

Boscastle to Bude: The Coastal Drive You Need This Summer 🌊

Most people visiting North Cornwall stick to the obvious spots, but the stretch of coast between Boscastle and Bude is genuinely one of the most dramatic drives in the UK, and it's right on the doorstep if you're staying in the area. From the steep, narrow harbour at Boscastle to the wild surf beach at Bude, you pass through Tintagel (yes, the legendary Arthurian clifftop castle), the hidden cove at Crackington Haven, and the rugged headland at Millook. The problem? You really need your own wheels to do it properly, because buses don't reach half of these places, and a motorhome or caravan is simply too big for some of these lanes.

That's exactly where a small hire car makes sense. LCH Vehicle Hire, based just off the A39 in Bude, hire out cars from £36 a day with insurance already included, and they'll even deliver to your holiday park or campsite so you don't have to unhitch anything. Whether you want a nimble city car for a day's exploring or something a bit bigger for the family, they've got a fleet of modern vehicles (all under 12 months old) ready to go. Have you done this stretch of coast before, or is it on your list for this summer? Drop a comment below, we'd love to know your favourite stop along the way. 🏖️
