KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Eccles
- Choosing car hire in Eccles is a great way to explore the beautiful natural areas around Eccles and visit Manchester City on your own schedule. Hiring a car in Eccles makes it easier to get to out-of-the-way beauty spots, like Pennington Flash Country Park and Macclesfield Forest, which can be tricky to reach on local public transport in Manchester, which also tends to get very busy with commuters and tourists during the summer. Choosing Eccles car hire can help you beat the crowds and allows you to travel as and when you want.
- Eccles is located around a 30-minute drive from Manchester and is served by Manchester Airport (MAN). You'll find the MAN has an on-site car hire centre, meaning you can pick up your vehicle as soon as you land and get your trip started straight away. To reach the car hire centre at MAN, arriving passengers can take the free shuttle bus that departs from the terminals every 10 minutes. It takes approximately 15 minutes by car to reach Eccles from Manchester Airport, compared with around 40 minutes on public transport.
- When you choose Eccles car hire, you should familiarise yourself with local driving conventions and road rules before you travel. Driving culture in England is not aggressive, and most drivers will follow signs and stick to the speed limits. However, if you are driving in heavy traffic in or around Manchester city centre, other drivers will expect you to keep up and be ready to move at junctions and roundabouts. You should also keep your speed low when driving in central areas with lots of pedestrians, as you may find that people cross between parked cars. If you are driving on rural roads in the UK, slow down when going around bends with poor visibility, as you may meet cyclists or oncoming traffic.
- During the weekday rush hour, the roads around Manchester that lead in and out of Eccles, such as the M60 and the M61, may experience heavy congestion and traffic delays. In Manchester, the rush hour generally falls between 07:00-09:00 and 17:00-19:00. If you want to avoid traffic delays, it is best not to travel between these times. At weekends, main roads and motorways around Manchester are usually significantly quieter, making these great times for a day out.

However, if you plan to head out into the rural areas around Eccles, a standard-size or large vehicle will give you more power and speed for driving on faster roads outside the city.
