Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Manchester car reservation?
Cancelling a booking with at least six hours notice should allow for a total refund. However, this is not always a given. It's a good idea to check your booking details and cancellation policy. Still can't find the answer? Head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Manchester?
Inexpensive, a cinch to handle and delivering great mileage, it's no wonder compact vehicles are the most sought-after rental category in Manchester. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is ideal for city escapes or shorter road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Manchester?
Manchester has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Pick up a set of wheels and take to the road to discover what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some ideas:

  • Head off to Washington for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Approximately 161 kilometres from Manchester, it's home to lots of inspiring sights such as White House.
  • Why not check out the wonders of Alexandria too? Popular attractions to see here include George Washington Masonic National Memorial. Alexandria is around 145 kilometres from Manchester.
  • Spend time in the great outdoors and inhale the fresh air at Longwood Gardens. It's 306 kilometres from Manchester.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Manchester?
The minimum age to rent a car in Manchester is 21. A young driver surcharge applies, so check before booking and factor in any additional costs. There may also be restrictions on the types of cars that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some providers will only rent out small and medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may vary between outlets, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Manchester?
Most rental companies will require two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.

Where can I find a Manchester car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Managed to find a Manchester supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Awesome! Just take note that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in should have all the details you need.
