Driving between the destinations would take you approximately 10 minutes. For those who would love to drive themselves throughout their visit to Blackpool, cheap car hire in Blackpool is a convenient option. There is a car rental facility within the airport where you're likely find some car rentals companies such as Budget, Avis, Sunnycars, Free2Move, Firefly, Easirent and Flizzr, among others companies. You are encouraged to book your car hire in advance for a more streamlined experience upon arrival at the airport.
- Blackpool has plenty of attractions for visitors to tour and enjoy what the world has for them. However, moving from one attraction to another within Blackpool could be time-consuming, especially when public means of transport are involved. It ensures that you promptly travel between destinations with much ease and enhanced comfort. Among the places you can visit in your cheap car hire in Blackpool is the Blackpool Pleasure Beach, located 2 miles from the city centre. Driving to the location will take you approximately 5 minutes. Using alternative options, such as the Tram, will take 25 minutes to complete the journey.
- Blackpool has several parking options available to all those with Blackpool car hire. The parking types available include street parking, Park and Ride options, and others such as private car parks. When parking your vehicle, you are encouraged to read the signage provided on the parking space.

Paying the parking fees and following the relevant authorities' parking guidelines will ensure your vehicle is secure in its parking space. However, failure to adhere to the rules could lead to fines and penalties.
- When in Blackpool, you’ll want to head straight to tourist attractions like Blackpool Pleasure Beach, the famous Blackpool Tower and the Victorian-era tramway. All of these sites are at your disposal if you opt for car hire in Blackpool, which will give you the freedom to explore where you like, even on a whim. You can certainly walk around the beach front, but if you want to get the best out of everything the city has to offer, you’ll need to hop into a car and take a few drives.
- Although Blackpool has its own airport, it really only serves emergency services and chartered flights, so for commercial flights into Blackpool, you’ll be landing at Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport, which is just over 34 miles away. This is not a problem at all once you pick up your hire car. To do so, head for the airport’s Car Rental Centre. It’s on ground floor of the car park that you’ll see right in front of you as you exit the main terminal building. You’ll spot the sign indicating the Express Drop Off & Pick Up Park. The main hire car operators there are Avis and Budget, Hertz, Enterprise and Europcar.
- Although it’s a holiday town, you need to be on your toes if you choose Blackpool car hire as your way of getting around. The traffic can be bustling to say the least. Exercise the most caution on Central Drive, and make sure you keep a close look-out for faster traffic. There is an unusual amount of pedestrian traffic around the resort destinations and beaches, as there are plenty of tourists around enjoying their holiday breaks. So make sure to pay attention when driving in those areas as well, especially along the Promenade, which is well patrolled by the police.
- Rush hour in Blackpool can vary according to how many people are in town, but in the main you can expect the traffic to peak at around 08:30 and again at 16:30 or so. To avoid the worst of it, you can drive via Poulton Road and Staining Road. Gynn Square can also become log-jammed at its roundabout. Among the major roads to avoid at this time are the M55 and Talbot Road, which is the main access road to North Pier. Another road that can get congested at these times is Central Drive (the A5099).
