10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Manchester

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search according to vehicle type and features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so reserving your car well in advance of your trip is advisable. By booking early, you're more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure that you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Manchester?
Manchester requires drivers to be 21 and above to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and tighter rental conditions. Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Manchester?
Most of the time, all you'll need is a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting your car.

Where can I find a Manchester car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Manchester companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to young customers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Manchester with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
