What types of cars can I rent in Manchester?
Dash around in a nifty mini, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to go past a compact car — the top choice in Manchester. They're a joy to handle and park, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you're exploring bustling cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect slightly more room and comfort at a price that won't break the bank.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Manchester?
The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Manchester is 21. A young driver surcharge usually applies, so check before you book and factor in possible additional costs.

Rules may vary between companies, so read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Manchester?
Most of the time, all you'll need is a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up your vehicle.

Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
