Cheshire car hire

A car hire in Cheshire is a great option for exploring this diverse county. The historic city of Chester itself is worth a visit for its ancient cathedral and Tudor style buildings, along with its famous zoo and racecourse. With a hire car, you will also have the freedom to explore the surrounding countryside with its many farms, nature trails and falconries. Bordering the county, you can also cross over into nearby Shropshire or use the excellent road networks that connect into North Wales. Choose from a range of vehicles for your trip, be it an economical car to navigate the narrow-cobbled streets of Chester city or a larger car if you are planning a family tour and have more luggage. You can also connect to nearby airports in Liverpool or Manchester via the motorways or explore the smaller towns and villages that are less accessible with public transport.

Driving is undertaken on the left side of the road in the United Kingdom and Cheshire and its surrounding area have excellent road networks with a mix of motorways and A-roads, which are all toll free. You can take the A49, which is a preferable route to visit many market towns such as Shrewsbury or Ludlow or to the smaller picturesque towns of Whitchurch and Malpas. The M6 motorway is useful for connecting to the airports in Manchester or Liverpool and the M56 and M53 lead off from Chester’s double ring road system. Bear in mind, when on higher ground such as in the Pennine Hills, you may be subject to various weather conditions, so a 4x4 may be useful in these areas.

You will need to be at least 21 years of age to hire a car in the United Kingdom and some companies may stipulate their rules and request a minimum of 25 years. A full valid UK driving license is required and an International Driving Permit for overseas drivers. You must also have a credit card registered to the main driver of the car and another form of ID to complete your booking.
