That depends on where you’re planning to head. Downtown Exeter, about 5 miles from Exeter Airport (EXT-Exeter Intl.), can be challenging to drive in. Make it easy on yourself by going for something compact, fuel-efficient, and a breeze to handle. That being said, Exeter is a handy base from which to explore many of the sandy shores in Devon. If your escape is more about cruising down long stretches of road, then you may like something with a little more comfort and room to move. What about an SUV or a full-size car?
