Manchester Airport car hire

Manchester Airport is situated just outside Wilmslow in Cheshire, not far from Altrincham and Hale on the south side of Manchester. With easy access to the M56 it is perfectly located for onward travel in every direction - the M56 heads directly into the centre of Manchester and west towards Runcorn intersecting the M6 at Lymm, junction J20a. From this junction one can travel north to Warrington, Wigan and Preston (or even further north to Scotland), while the road south passes Crewe, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent in the first instance. With such a large number of towns and villages within easy reach, Manchester is a popular arrival airport for both domestic and international flights and, with such a great road network, makes hiring a car from Manchester Airport the easiest way to continue your onward journey.

The best way to book a hire car is by doing so online. Take advantage of preferential rates available to customers who book online and watch out for any special promotions and seasonal offers. Regardless of the number of days you need a rental car, there will be a competitive price available for the car, van or minibus of your choice, there are automatic - shift gear and manual cars from cheap economy groups to luxury cars such as Mercedes and Landrovers, just look and see!

Don't forget to add the names of any other drivers who will be driving the car - this can be done at the time of booking or on arrival at the car hire depot. Ask how to minimise the policy excess and for details of the cancellation policy. With the new laws, be sure to pre-book child seats for any young children travelling with you.

Take it easy as your drive our of the car rental bureau - the car may be faster that the one you are used to! Watch out not to receive a speeding ticket as you will be liable to pay the fine. This goes for parking tickets too. The hire car company cannot be held liable for such penalties incurred while the rental car is in your possession. If you are likely to forget where you parked the car, why not make a note of the make, model, colour and registration number of the hired car so you can find it easily? And don't worry if there's anything you forgot to ask the hire car representative as you'll find the car handbook (manual) in the glove pocket inside the car and it will answer any queries you may have regarding the operation of the vehicle.

On returning at the end of the hire period, simply return to the rental office with the car and return the keys to the member of staff on duty. Allow plenty of time to do this in order that you do not miss the check-in for your return flight. If need be, ask for directions and do be aware that the roads around Manchester Airport can be very busy, especially at peak times. On returning the rented car, you may be offered transport, free-of-charge, to get to the terminal building if this is not within a couple of minutes walk.
