Choosing the right vehicle

Whether you're exploring Manchester's urban attractions or venturing into the picturesque countryside, it is important to pick from a range of vehicles to suit your needs. Some of the options are:

Compact car: Usually, but not exclusively, hatchbacks. Enough room for a number of bags or small suitcases. Comfortably seats four people.
Standard or Intermediate car: Plenty of room for large suitcases and five people.
Executive car: A larger vehicle that seats five people. Suitable for making a good impression during business trips.
Luxury car: You can find a range of passenger/luggage capacity combinations. Several different top brands are considered, which impacts the price.

From compact cars ideal for navigating Manchester’s city streets to decent-sized SUVs perfect for family road trips, there's a rental car for every occasion. Ask about optional extras such as child seats and additional drivers for a comfortable and stress-free journey.

Exploring Manchester and beyond

With your rental car, you can easily explore Manchester's top attractions, such as the Manchester Art Gallery, the John Rylands Library, and the Whitworth Art Gallery. You can also visit the Northern Quarter - a trendy neighbourhood in Manchester - in the vehicle you hire.

For sports enthusiasts, a visit to Old Trafford - the Manchester United Museum and stadium, and the Lancashire Cricket Ground is a must, or to the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City play. Beyond the city limits, the Peak District and the Lake District offer stunning natural landscapes just a short drive away.

Manchester is the largest city in the region, so hiring a vehicle is necessary.

Driving in Manchester

Before hitting the road, it's essential to familiarise yourself with UK driving regulations. In Manchester, like the rest of the UK, driving is on the left side of the road, and speed limits are signposted. Dual carriageways provide efficient connections between destinations, while city driving requires attention to pedestrian crossings and traffic congestion, especially during peak times.

Booking your rental car

The reservation process for car hire in Manchester is straightforward, typically requiring a valid, full driving licence held for at least one year, along with payment and insurance details. During the car rental process, we will make you aware of any additional charges, such as daily surcharges, damage waivers, and fees for young or additional drivers. While driving a car in Manchester, at Tottington Motor Company, we want to make sure you have extra protection and knowledge so that you don't end up paying an unnecessary additional charge during your trip - for example, the charge for driving through a clean air zone.

There may be a minimum age listed under a rental car, so make sure to check that. It is necessary to have your driving licence available before you pay for the vehicle hire. This is a standard procedure with most car hire companies, and TMC is no different.

Environmental considerations

Manchester, like many cities in the UK, is conscious of environmental issues, including air quality. When driving in the city centre, be mindful of clean air zones and any restrictions that may apply to your vehicle. Additionally, depending on the car park in Manchester you enter, it may have specific regulations, so it's advisable to plan your parking arrangements. Our team can talk to you more about any daily surcharge that you may end up needing to pay during your rental period.

With its vibrant city life, cultural attractions, and easy access to natural beauty spots, Manchester is a fantastic destination to explore by car. Whether you're visiting for business or pleasure, renting a car allows you the flexibility to tailor your trip to your preferences and discover everything this dynamic city and its surroundings have to offer. So why not book your car hire in Manchester with TMC and embark on an unforgettable road trip with your whole family? A trip which takes you to the Peak District, Lake District, plus many locations in Manchester?
