Car hire in
Liverpool

• It’ll be no surprise to anyone that the Beatles are at the top of our list of attractions in Liverpool. Head to the Beatles Story for a trip through the band's meteoric rise to fame. Create your own Beatles driving tour of the city stopping off at the Cavern Club, Strawberry Fields and Mendips.
• Given its location, there are plenty of seaside towns to explore within driving distance of Liverpool. Southport is one of the large towns on Merseyside and can be reached in around 45 minutes in your hire car. There are also plenty of options in the other direction along the Welsh Coast, including Rhyl and Colwyn Bay.
• Speke Hall is also well worth a visit when visiting Liverpool. Located just a 9-mile drive from the city centre, you’ll find a pristine example of the 15th-century lifestyle, complete with Tudor and Victorian-era costume tours.

For obvious reasons indoor activities are a much safer bet in Liverpool during the winter. There's always something for music lovers in this famous city, including the British Music Experience which showcases the history of modern British music, with tons of authentic artefacts, including original David Bowie and Freddy Mercury costumes. For a complete change of pace visit the Walker Art Gallery or The Bluecoat, for a full experience of visual art.

• Our branch is just a short shuttle away from Liverpool Airport. For those arriving at the airport and driving into the city we would recommend taking the A561 and follow signs for the city centre. The drive from the airport is around 9 miles and should take around half an hour.
• Although Liverpool is a large and sprawling city it is considered to be one of the easier cities in the UK to drive around, especially if you have added a sat nav to your reservation. As in any city, it is best to avoid peak commuting hours.
• Pay and display street parking is available in all areas but it is easier and cheaper to use multi storey parking. You’ll find plenty in the city centre and some are open 24 hours a day which is ideal if your hotel does not have its own parking available.
• Unlike some UK cities, Liverpool does not yet have a clean air zone or congestion charge.
• If you are heading out of Liverpool in your hire car, there’s plenty of places to explore in the area. The walled cathedral city Chester is around a 45-minute drive south on the M53. Be aware that you will need to pay a small toll to cross the Mersey Gateway Bridge. Manchester is an hour’s drive east on the M62, while the Lake District is around 2 and a half hours north on the M6.
