KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Sale
- Choosing car hire in Sale, Manchester, gives you the freedom to explore both the nearby city and some of England’s most beautiful rural spots. While Manchester does have a developed tram and bus network, most journeys beyond the city require you to make changes on route, which can be confusing and time-consuming if you have to wait for onward connections. Hiring a car in Sale also allows you to visit popular attractions on your own schedule, so you can beat the crowds during busy times. It will also give you the ability to explore Peak District National Park, which has main roads running through it and is easy to reach by car from Sale.
- Sale is located around 15min from Manchester Airport (MAN) by car, compared with a roughly 40min journey on public transport. If you want to organise car hire in Sale, picking your vehicle up as soon as you land is a great option. Manchester Airport has an off-site car hire centre, which is connected to the main terminals via a free shuttle bus. Shuttle buses depart from the terminals roughly every 10min.
- If you’re driving in the Manchester city centre, you must follow the speed limits and keep your speed low in areas where there are a lot of pedestrians. In central areas, like shopping areas and near tube stops, it is common for pedestrians to step out from between parked cars. Keeping your speed low will help you stay prepared for this. You should also be aware that trams operate within the Manchester city centre. British drivers outside of the city centre drive quite fast but are not generally aggressive. Drivers should try to keep up with the traffic if they’re on the motorway and only drive in the right-hand lane if they’re overtaking. On country roads with lots of bends and blind spots, you may want to lower your speed in case you meet cyclists or oncoming traffic.
- The streets in and around central Manchester tend to be the worst areas for traffic congestion near Sale. If you plan to drive to the city, you should try to avoid the weekday rush hour, which takes place from 07:00-09:00 and 17:00-19:00. Roads leading in and out of the city, like the M60 and the M56, also experience heavy traffic and are usually busy on weekends, especially in the mid-morning and late afternoon.
