You will miss Nothing all! They were Parking on the south apron at the moment as the grass was too wet last week. Exit on foot via Gate C next to the fire station. Car hire was incredibly cheep last week £25 per day! After the gate turn right after about 30m and follow the road down to the terminal. Car hire is in a separate building just on your right. Aviation Southwest where you pay and get the gate pass for getting back airside are on the left.
Have a safe flight. If you want any specific info PM I am there a fair bit.
If you get a chance and haven’t been before Dattmouth is definitely worth a visit. A few good restaurants as well especially Taylor’s. It’s on the way to Plymouth.
I will fly to Exeter, called today to ask for info.
They said that handling is not ,andatory below 2t.
Is there anything that I’ll miss without handling in Exeter?
Thread drift: ON
As an aside, I have used these guys for years and always got great deals, especially as they mostly include insurance(s), which can be a game changer, especially in the UK and the US. Check them out: http://www.economycarrentals.com/ and be careful not to confuse with a very similarly named site.

When I lived in Hastings, it was not uncommon to have to buy a £45 peak hour single trip journey into London. This for one of the shittiest trains that took 2hrs to get 50 miles! Just as a comparison, the same distance, 50 miles, on the Victoria to Brighton train takes 50mins – how can this take 1hr10min more?
Many times I rented a plane from my club at Lydd and flew up instead. Didn’t save any time, but almost saved money! 
Peter,
at the time, when I got back I passed a big gas station near the railway station at Bournemouth which advertized car rental for £27 a day… plus gas. Also sites like rentalcars com are quite nice to find a good deal. I’ve had cars rented in Spain for instance for less than 150 Euros for 10 days….

Gotta change your search engineExeter Airport Rental Car, 3 days under 70 EUR
Would do for me
That’s what I also found, the cost for a rental car is not the issue in this case.
We will plan for Exeter, we just have to sent the GAR before leaving ETSI as 4 hrs before ETA are required.

I turned up at EGBJ/Gloucestershire and rented a car for less than the taxi fare to Cheltenham station and back (the taxi firms gouge you for going 3.5 miles to the airport, doubly on a Sunday, I guess they figure everyone using EGBJ is a millionaire).
I very often rent cars from airports for around 30-40 currency units per day. Next time it’s planned is from Caen next month.
A car rental would have been 30 or so
On a quick search, I see no way to rent a car for £30. Most real-life scenarios, turning up at some airport like EGKK and renting a car there, are 3x + that. The cheap rentals usually involve travelling to some backstreet outfit in the town. £30 is very possible on a Greek island though 
Swiss trains run on time……
So do UK ones, about 99% of the time, but one always remembers the one which didn’t Also off-peak trains are usually OK; it is the commuters who suffer more.
