The best type of car to hire in Salford depends on what sort of trip you are planning. Still, if you will do most of your driving on tarred city streets and motorways, consider a compact car to navigate the city easily. On the other hand, if you want more interior space for luggage and to feel slightly safer driving on wet roads, you might consider a larger SUV or four-by-four for comfort and safety.

Depending on the type of road, there will be different speed limits. The built-up inner city roads and neighbourhoods have a 40 mph (60kph) speed limit, but certain areas reduce their limits to 20 or 30 mph (50kph) to limit the number of accidents. When travelling on the motorway, there is a maximum speed of 70 mph (120km) when there are at least two lanes. Exercise caution in rainy weather and always reduce your speed.

You can find some off-street parking in Salford, but generally, it is much easier to find a car park for the day. There are many Pay and Display car parks dotted around all the main areas. Look for car parks run by Salford City Council, where you pay per hour, and parking is free on Sundays and Bank Holidays. You can also find parking at Cleminson Car Park, Irwell Place, Radcliffe Car Park and Media City Multi-Storey car park. These are your best options if you want to leave your car in a safe spot for the day.
