Liverpool Car Hire

Top tips for renting a car in Liverpool

• Once you’ve toured the city of Liverpool, you’ll want to explore the nearby countryside. With a hire car, you can enjoy a relaxing drive along the coast. Stop and walk along the Southport Pier or dip your feet in the sand at one of the nearby beaches. You’ll also be a short drive from North Wales and the historic Conwy and Harlech Castles.
• Liverpool John Lennon Airport is especially busy during the summer months. It offers lots of traveling conveniences including restaurants, shops, and car hire services. Book your hire car in advance and your car will be ready for you when you land. Located directly across the street from the terminals, some agencies with offices in the airport include Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, and Budget.
• In Liverpool, as in all of the United Kingdom, you’ll drive on the left side of the street. As you drive throughout the city, note that there are many mobile speed cameras in various locations. The cameras are monitored by officers in a van. Along with checking for speeding, they also watch to see if a driver is on their cell phone.
• Rush hour can make driving a little more difficult. This is especially true of the bypasses that connect commuters to the city center. In the morning, rush hour starts at about 8 a.m. and continues through 9:30 a.m. During the evening commute, traffic starts to get busy around 5 p.m. and begins to slow down at about 7 p.m.
