Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Manchester car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal contains all the specifics about this. In almost all situations, complete refunds are available if a booking is cancelled at least six hours prior to picking up the car. Be sure to scan the rental agreement to double-check if there are any exceptions.
What types of cars can I rent in Manchester?
Reasonably priced, zippy and great on mileage, it's no coincidence that compact vehicles are the most popular rental type in Manchester. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily dart around busy streets. A compact is perfect for city getaways or shorter road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in an intermediate, a full-size or premium — there's a style of vehicle to suit you!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Manchester?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Manchester is 21. An extra fee for young drivers generally applies, so check before booking and factor in any extra costs. There could also be restrictions on the sorts of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For instance, some providers will only rent out small and medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may differ between companies, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Manchester?
The main things are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking your policy terms and conditions to avoid any hassles.

Where can I find a Manchester car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Manchester rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's ideal to know this ahead of time so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
