Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Manchester car reservation?
No worries! If you can cancel your rental at least six hours before the collection time, you'll most likely receive a total refund. It's a good idea to scan the cancellation policy as there are some exemptions. Jump onto our Customer Service Portal if you still have queries.
What types of cars can I rent in Manchester?
Mini, economy, full-size, premium ... It's up to you! However, compact models are the most popular in Manchester. If you're chasing something affordable and small, but not too small, this category of rental vehicle is a wise choice. Driving around busy streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact cars offer a little more room than economy rides and are suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.
Where can I go on a road trip from Manchester?
Manchester is full of fun adventures, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Rent some wheels and hit the open road to see what's in the wider region. Here are a few places to choose from:
  • Make tracks to Minneapolis - St. Paul for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Roughly 137 kilometres from Manchester, it has lots of cool sights such as Mall of America.
  • About 177 kilometres away, La Crosse is also popular with wanderers. Make sure you check out La Crosse Centre while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this city.
  • Find your way to Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden to reconnect with nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just sit and unwind. From Manchester, it's 241 kilometres away.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Manchester?
Drivers aged 21 and over can get on the road in Manchester in a rental car. If you're a young renter, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll usually have fewer car categories to choose from, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to purchase inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Manchester?
Two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Check with your supplier to avoid any issues.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Manchester?
Yes. Expedia partners with trusted providers that offer long-term rentals for all car types. Take a look at our long-term car rental deals and explore every nook and cranny of Manchester — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Manchester car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Manchester, we recommend checking the policies of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any nasty surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
