KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Prestwich

  • Car hire in Prestwich offers several advantages for exploring the town and its surroundings. Having a car provides the flexibility to visit nearby attractions such as Heaton Park. With a hired car, you can easily explore nearby towns and cities like Manchester or Bury, known for their cultural sites and shopping opportunities. Public transportation is available, but Prestwich car hire allows you to optimise your itinerary, visit multiple destinations at your own pace, and enjoy the convenience of door-to-door transportation.
  • When arriving at Manchester Airport (MAN) near Prestwich, the car hire offices are conveniently located within the airport complex. After collecting your luggage, follow the signs to the arrivals area and proceed to the designated car hire desks. Manchester Airport has multiple terminals, including Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and Terminal 3. The car hire desks can be found in each of these terminals, ensuring easy access to arrange your car hire in Prestwich. Airport car hire in Prestwich provides the most convenient start to your trip.
  • When driving in Prestwich, take note of the presence of pedestrians, particularly in busy areas and near schools. Exercise caution and be prepared for sudden movements from pedestrians. Additionally, be mindful of the narrow and winding roads, characteristic of the older parts of town. Familiarise yourself with local traffic signs and regulations to ensure a safe and smooth driving experience in Prestwich. Respecting other road users and practising defensive driving will contribute to a positive journey throughout the town.
  • Prestwich typically experiences moderate traffic levels, but there can be busier periods during rush hour, particularly on weekdays from around 08:00 to 09:00 and 17:00 to 18:00.

While Prestwich itself does not face significant challenges due to winter snow or dangerous mountain roads, drive with caution during inclement weather conditions.

Pay attention to specific road signs indicating lower speed limits in areas like school zones and residential areas, and be cautious of speed cameras to ensure compliance.

Car hire insurance in Prestwich

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver

Some Prestwich car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Prestwich.

Deductible

Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Prestwich car hire.
