Any Aber Live Near Harwich.

[giveup]

I'm looking for a Car Hire company near the Docks. Any advice gratefully received Thanks.

I live fairly close by and I've never seen any car hire facilities actually at the port. (Indeed, I've never seen much of anything there. There's the rail station and a basic café, and that's about it). Further, Stena Line's website makes no reference to car hire at Harwich.

The port itself is some way out from the town of Harwich. Even Harwich has hardly got any shops or facilities, as it's nowadays really little more than a village, right next door to the town of Dovercourt (which is where all of the shops, etc, are).

However a quick bit of Googling shows that Europcar operates a 'meet and greet' service at the port:

and Thrifty can provide you with a car from there (but it has to be returned to Colchester):

IndiGo also seems worth checking out:

Thanks Buenchico,my husband is paying off his ship in Harwich (he said much the same about the place as you have). He needs a car to drive home and then return it somewhere in this area. He usually comes in to Newcastle and we know who to use there, but this time its Harwich so I'll have a look at the links you've suggested.
