KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Widnes

  • When you get a car hire in Widnes you will enjoy enhanced flexibility compared to if you travel using an alternative mode of transport like a bus, taxi or train. This is because you have the freedom to depart whenever you want, rather than relying on train and bus schedules or waiting for taxis. For example, if you wanted to go to Prescot you can get there in about 14min driving. Whereas this same journey takes about double the time by bus and you also have to abide by the bus timetable.
  • Liverpool Airport (LPL) has a range of car hire companies to choose from, such as SIXT, Avis and Budget, so it won’t be hard to find your ideal vehicle. To get to the car hire companies is easy too. For instance, to reach SIXT you need to call a phone number they provide you with when in the arrivals hall. You must then walk to Drop Off Zone 2, where a free shuttle will pick you up to take you to the branch.
  • When you get a car hire in Widnes you will see that the town is popular with tourists and rugby fans. The centre often gets very busy, especially when there is a rugby match on. When you’re driving through the centre you should keep an eye out for people crossing the road at locations that aren’t pedestrian crossings. Cycling is also very popular in the UK, with Widnes being no exception. To ensure yours and the cyclists' safety you need to ensure you double check your mirrors, especially when turning.
  • When you get your Widnes car hire you will notice that driving in the centre of the town can be difficult, especially during rush hour which is between 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Lots of locals commute to Manchester and Liverpool during these times, so if you want to avoid the busiest times on the road it’s best to stay clear of rush hour. The B5419 is one road that is exceptionally busy during these times; so, if you can, try and find an alternative road to travel on.
  • Book your rental car in Widnes at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Widnes are around 11% more expensive than other car types, on average

Pros:

The car was brand new and ran well, getting fantastic gas mileage without being underpowered. Pickup at Liverpool Airport was extremely friendly, no upsell. I like the "fuel option," where they sell you a tank of gas but agree to cancel the sale if you bring it back full. In my case, with a very tight connection at my dropoff, I was grateful to be able to come in empty.

Cons:

Car's handbrake was not adjusted right, so that it would not hold on very steep grades.

The Hertz office in Liverpool did not have clear instructions/directions to their office. We had to hunt around and ask people as to where it was. The charge from Hertz did not match what was quoted from CarRentals.com. Hertz was of no help trying to resolve the problem. Will never again rent from Hertz!
