Tips for renting a car in Liverpool

Before you rent
Choose wisely. In 2019 we introduced our multi-product system which helps you choose a car based on your needs and easily see the final price. Car rental insurance can be tricky to navigate and often isn't what you expect, by booking with us direct you'll receive the correct insurance for your rental.

When you collect your vehicle
Plan ahead. We recommend planning your route before you leave, especially when renting a car at an airport. Are you sure where you're meeting your chaperone or where the rental desk is? Your confirmation email will have the contact information for the location, so we suggest saving the number in your phone ahead of time.

Have the correct documents ready. We try and keep the check in process as painless as possible but we do need to process certain information for legal reasons so having these ready ahead of time can help speed up the process. Make sure you have your booking details ready, along with your driving licence, passport and valid credit card.

Complete a vehicle check. It's essential when you are taken to your car you complete a Vehicle Condition Report (VCR) and note any existing damage, paying particular attention to the five damage hotspots. If you don't report this, you may be liable for these damages when you return the vehicle. We don't want you to get caught out, so we've put together a handy vehicle inspection video to help you check everything thoroughly.

While you rent
Take care. Unfortunately you may be liable for any damage caused to a vehicle in your care, and this will vary depending on the product you choose. A large proportion of damages to any car can be dings you pick up in car parks, so be mindful when space is limited and park further away and walk a little further to your destination.

When you return your vehicle
Complete a vehicle check. It's time to carry out a VCR again and even more essential to fully log any damage, no matter how small, to ensure you are fully covered and we can process your return effectively. Be sure to check the vehicle as before, paying special attention to the five damage hotspots.

Good to know about car rental at Liverpool Airport


Once you have landed at a Liverpool's Airport and picked up your rental car from the designated office, we wish you a safe and enjoyable journey!

In the UK, driving is on the left-hand side of the road. A valid driving license from your home country is required, and depending on your country of origin, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP).

The speed limits in the UK are generally 30 mph (48 km/h) in urban areas, 60 mph (97 km/h) on single-carriageway roads, and 70 mph (113 km/h) on motorways and dual carriageways, subject to change based on road conditions and signage.

Roundabouts are common throughout the UK, and it’s essential to know the rules for navigating them. Drivers approaching a roundabout must give way to traffic from the right, and lanes are often marked with arrows to indicate exits.

If you're planning a trip to central London and certain other cities, you may encounter Congestion Charges or Low Emission Zones (LEZ). These charges are typically paid online or via mobile apps and apply during peak hours in high-traffic areas. In Liverpool, you don't have to worry about that – but it's good to know in case you're planning to drive around the country.

The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08% in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and 0.05% in Scotland. Penalties for driving under the influence are strict, including fines, license suspension, or imprisonment.

Drivers must stop for pedestrians at marked crosswalks (known as zebra crossings), as pedestrians always have the right of way. Many city centers also have pedestrian-only zones where vehicles are restricted, so check for local signs.

In urban areas, parking zones are marked with signage that indicates restrictions, such as paid parking areas or permit-only zones. Paid parking is often marked with signs or pay-and-display meters. Parking can indeed be limited in busy areas, so planning or using parking garages is a good idea.

Fuel stations are readily available in cities and along major highways, but they can be scarce in more remote rural areas, especially in regions like the Scottish Highlands.

The UK does not have tolls on most roads, but some bridges, tunnels, and certain sections of motorways have tolls, which can be paid at toll booths or online, depending on the location.
