Do you need to rent a car in Torquay, or is public transport enough?

Accepted Answer

For a Torquay vacation package, a rental car offers the most flexibility, especially if you plan to explore beyond the immediate town center and its beaches.

For arrival, nearly all hotels offer airport shuttle services to and from Exeter (EXT-Exeter Intl.) or Bristol (BRS-Bristol Intl.).
