Liverpool car hire

You might want to drive a favorite car of the locals while visiting Liverpool, which would be the BMW or Vauxhall (a British manufactured vehicle). Know that car hire agencies will automatically give you a car with a manual transmission unless you request an automatic. If you want an automatic you’ll need to book your hire in advance, as automatic cars are not as easy to get in Liverpool.

Liverpool has lots of highways, so you’ll mostly drive on the freeway during your visit. On the freeway the speed limit is a maximum of 70 mph (110 km/h), while in an area of town where there are lots of shops and restaurants, you can drive at speeds of up to 30 mph (48 km/h). Nonetheless, in many residential areas, you’ll have to travel at speeds of less than 20 mph (32 km/h).

There is metered parking on the side streets around the downtown area as well as a number of parking lots and garages on the main street. If you are staying at a hotel on the outskirts of town, check out the park and ride lots. Here you can park your car in the suburbs and catch the bus into the downtown area so you don’t have to worry about looking for or paying for parking.

When you get a hire vehicle in Liverpool there are lots of add-ons for you to choose from, which aid with the comfort of your journey. To ensure you don’t get lost you can include a sat nav.

You can avoid any stress of breaking down with 24/7 roadside assistance, which covers you for instances such as a flat battery and punctured tyres.

Liverpool is a busy city in the north of England, which has lots of cyclists on the roads each day. Whilst there are lots of cycle paths in the city centre, you will still find that cyclists often have to share the roads with cars. It’s recommended that you take extra care when driving in the city centre and check mirrors regularly, as the cyclists can get very close to your vehicle. You will also find that roads get busy with pedestrians and students throughout the year. However, one particularly busy time on the roads is when Liverpool Football Club are playing, so it’s best to avoid driving during match day.
