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.

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.

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.
