Good Day.
We are interested in any recommendations for a car rental company to rent a car in Birmingham and drop it off in the Truro or Penzance area or a location convenient to rail service to London.
We prefer a local company. All we are finding is large providers.
Thank you in advance for your sage advice.

I doubt you will find a local provider who would do a one way rental from Birmingham to Cornwall. It wouldn’t be profitable for them. I think you are likely to have to go with one of the big players.
You could take the train from Birmingham to Cornwall and rent there.
Thank you both for your responses.
We will contact the big providers as we can’t take the train. Our plans include visiting the Cotswolds.
Thank you.

Are your plans to just visit the Cotswolds en route to Cornwall or do you have other plans for the journey?
If the former you could consider taking the train to somewhere like Cheltenham, hire a car there to tour the Cotswolds and then return the car and continue on the train. That would allow you to use a local firm (if there is one) and avoid a one-way fee on the hire car.
Best way to do Cornwall is with Rabbies Tours. Their guide was fantastic. He knew the area so well, he saved loads of time evading the heavy traffic.
