KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Workington

  • Workington is located in the beautiful region of Cumbria, which is known for its stunning landscapes, national parks, and charming villages. Having a rental car allows you to access remote and off-the-beaten-path areas that may not be easily reached by public transportation. You can explore the Lake District, visit coastal towns, or venture into the countryside with ease. Alternatively, if you want a city hit to visit historical sites, museums, or scenic spots, having a car gives you the flexibility to explore the town and its surroundings conveniently.
  • Newcastle International Airport (NCL) is situated approximately 85 miles (137 km) east of Workington. Workington car hire company desks can be found on the First Level, directly across from the area where Domestic Arrivals are located. After the paperwork, you can pick your selected car from this area and continue your journey towards Workington. Europcar and Hertz are two options that you can choose for your car hire in Workington.
  • When driving your car hire in Workington, it is important to note that the country lanes in Cumbria are often narrow, allowing for only one car at a time. Therefore, be mindful of passing places where you can pull over to allow oncoming vehicles to pass or let drivers behind you overtake. Additionally, keep in mind that Cumbria has a significant wildlife population, including badgers, deer, hares, rabbits, and game birds, like pheasants. These animals may venture onto the road and consider it their territory. Stay alert and be prepared to encounter them while driving, taking necessary precautions to avoid accidents.
  • Traffic congestion in Workington is likely to be more pronounced during typical rush hours, which are usually in the mornings (around 08:00  to 09:00) and evenings (around 16:30 to 18:00). These are times when people commute to and from work, and traffic volumes tend to be higher. The town centre of Workington, especially around shopping areas or during busy periods, may experience congestion due to increased vehicle and pedestrian activity.
