Rent a car in Manchester

SO MUCH MORE THAN INDUSTRY

From all kinds of events and attractions to the most exquisite gastronomy and the most vibrant and spectacular night, Manchester has hundreds of surprises in store for the thousands of visitors coming to discover this impressive gem of the United Kingdom.

The history of Manchester is inevitably linked to the Industrial Revolution, as we are talking about the first industrialized city all over the globe, especially linked to the textile industry and cotton yarn.

Cottonpolis, as it was known internationally, saw the flourishment on its streets a whole universe of artistic, financial, educative, and news buildings under the shelter of the decisive role it was taking in the history of the modern world.

For all travelers wanting to obtain a car to visit Manchester and its surroundings, Pepecar offers them its search engine specialized on car hire with the lowest prices in the city thanks to the many deals we have.

Its Old Town will become part of the World Heritage, thanks to the importance of the impressive network of eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century channels and windmills.

HOW TO ACCESS MANCHESTER

The easiest and most comfortable way to access Manchester is landing in the airport of the city. Manchester Airport is located at only 18 kilometers southwest from the center of the city and the average number of daily flights is around 200. Among all of them, Spanish destinations as Palma, Malaga, Alicante or Gran Canaria are considered as the most popular ones. The best option is to pick your rental car up directly at the airport or at its nearby areas, start the engine and take the road M56. Continue through the A5103, M60, and take the exit 7 and 8 to get to the city of Manchester. In about 41 minutes you will be enjoying all the wonders this English locality has to offer you.

Another option could be landing at Liverpool Airport, where Pepecar also works with some of the branches from the car hire companies we work with. To get to Manchester from Liverpool, take the road M62 and, after continuing for the road M602, take the exit A6. In 1 hour and 7 minutes, you will have gone all over 54 kilometers separating both cities.

CAR EXCURSIONS FROM MANCHESTER

Of course, it is not necessary to have a car to be able to make different excursions from this incredible city. However, if you have a rental car reserved in Manchester, it will be far easier and more comfortable for you to get to some of the closest locations or interest points near the city without having to look at the clock all the time.

Bolton

About 25 kilometers north of Manchester, we can visit Bolton, a must-see place if you are around this area of the country. This city, marked by its industrial history, has enough attractions to please every visitor.

Its famous Scythe Inn and Smithills Hall are regarded as some of the most beautiful locations in the city. The Holy Trinity Church is the ideal place to admire the wonderful sights of the zone. Sports lovers will, surely, enjoy Rebook Stadium and Museum.

You will be in this city in about 33 minutes with your rental car, driving through the A57 and M602 to St. Peter’s Way/A666.

Stockport

Historically speaking, the center of the industry of silk, this city might not be the most typical touristic city from the United Kingdom, but it does have tourist attractions which cannot be found anywhere on earth. Bramall Hall and Staircase Mansion with its history museum inside are two free options to discover the story of the city of more than ten thousand years. Saint Elizabeth Church and Vernon Park are must-see places in Stockport.

It won’t take you more than 32 minutes and 17 kilometers to access the center of Stockport in your rental car. Take the exit on the A5103 and M60 to Travis Brow/E5145. In Wellington Road turn right and you will be in the center of your destination.

Stretford

About 20 minutes and 7 kilometers driving through the A56 from the center of Manchester you will find one of the favorite locations for sports lovers. Here, you will see the Old Trafford Stadium, several parks, museums and commercial areas making this locality a complete visit, perfect for a one-day trip.

WHERE TO SLEEP

You will not find many problems to find the ideal accommodation in Manchester taking into account your budget and your needs. The offer varies from knock-down price hotels and luxury hotels.

The quality of these hotel establishments is generally good. Apart from sleeping, you will be able to find other types of facilities as breakfasts or guided tours all over the city.

Both flats and B&B started to be built as a popular option among travelers. Even though many times they are not located in a centric area, but in rural ones, thanks to our car hire search engine, this will never become a problem. Apart from the center of the city, where the most important monuments, museums, and touristic points are located, another of the most interesting places to look for an accommodation is Northern Quarter with such an alternative character and a really vivid nightlife.

GASTRONOMY

Manchester is one of the most cosmopolitan cities from England, and this is reflected in its cuisine. The Steak and Kidney Pudding and the Cheshire Gammon Steak are some of the most characteristic dishes of the area. Accompany them with a great craft beer or a glass of local cider.

Chinatown and the Curry Mile are interesting and economic options to get your strength back.
