Why hire a car?

A hire car offers the flexibility and comfort you don't always get with public transport; pop the sat-nav on and off you go in your air-conditioned vehicle! Explore your surroundings at your leisure, to your schedule without waiting in the rain for a bus!

Think it may be more expensive? If you total the cost of a week's worth of public transport costs, tube, bus and train tickets, taxi fares and the like, car hire may very well come out cheaper!

The car rental providers at Manchester Airport can be found at the Car Rental village on the far side of the T1/T3 Long Stay Car Park.

* Calls to this number will cost up to 7p per minute plus your phone company’s network access charge.
