KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Manchester

  • Compared to public buses and taxis, car rentals in Manchester are a superior transportation choice if you want to connect to different locations inside the city. Lutz Children's Museum is one of the locations you may visit with ease in your rental car if you have children with you and want to have a fantastic time outside. Although Manchester has an efficient public transportation system that is primarily made up of buses, which are significantly less expensive, renting a car provides a number of advantages, the most important of which is more flexibility. You can choose your own departure timings and routes to your destination when you rent a car.
  • You can avoid the hassle of the lengthy lines that are frequently observed at the various bus stations by renting a car from one of the Manchester car rentals at Bradley International Airport (BDL). Because it offers a greater variety of car makes and models, this airport car rental station is rated higher than most other locations in the city. Renters have a better probability of receiving a specific car type or model in this location depending on their preferences and tastes. The BDL's car rental facility is close to Terminal A, the airport's primary terminal.
  • Keep in mind that it is typical for drivers to flout some fundamental traffic laws in Manchester, such as right of way and lane discipline. You will constantly be on the lookout for cars, especially big trucks, entering intersections, regardless of whether they are obstructing other drivers or not. On roadways with numerous lanes, lane changes are frequently made without signaling. As a result, when you plan to self-drive by booking car rentals in Manchester, be careful of other drivers and don't trust that they will all obey the law.
  • Using car rentals in Manchester during the rush hours, which are typically between 6:30 am and 9:30 am and later from 4:30 pm to 7 pm, might be a little difficult. Most of Manchester's roadways are congested during this period, with Pleasant Valley Road and Interstate 84 (I-84) experiencing the worst traffic. Therefore, if you must travel on 5th Street Road during any of these periods, make sure to set out around 10 -30 minutes before the scheduled departure time.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Manchester?

    The majority of the tourist attractions that you would want to see while in Manchester are situated in regions with mountainous and uneven terrains, like Wickham Park and Case Mountain. As a result, consider an Intermediate car when renting a car in Manchester to get to these locations. This vehicle's potent engine can easily traverse steep terrain.

School zones, residential districts, and some areas of the city center are some of the places having substantially reduced speed limits of up to 25 mph or even lower.

  • What are the best places to park in Manchester?

    Parking lots at 201 Hale Road and 179 Deming Street are two places in Manchester where you can always find spaces to leave your rental car. It will cost you $1 per hour to park your car at any of these parking lots. In addition to this, hotel parking is a good alternative to take into account. The majority of hotels in Manchester provide its patrons with free parking as one of their services. However, hotel parking is only available to guests who are staying at one of those hotels.

Cons:

When I arrived to pick up my vehicle, I was told that they had no vehicles available it would be at least two days before they had any. They blamed it on a glitch in their computer system and that they had had this problem before. It seems to me that’s a pretty massive problem they should work out, because I created a major disruption in my schedule and my plans, and Enterprise did nothing but say “sorry, try somewhere else.”

When I arrived to pick up my rental there were 5 people in front of me all waiting for their rentals. I was told there were no rentals at that time and I would have to wait until the clerk’s supervisor called and told her what to do. She had no idea when I would get my rental. I left there with a Ford Explorer which is a far cry from a Kia compact at about 3:30 pm. I waited 21/2 hrs for that. The clerk was efficient, but the wait and the fact that there was no car waiting was inexcusable as I had a reservation. Why did I reserve a rental at all ?

Pros:

Very friendly and helpful! My problem is with Priceline. They scheduled this at a downtown location, which after I got off the airplane had no way to get to before closing. System shouldn’t have allowed. I selected BDL airport and couldn’t have known what street the car rental places are. Avis worked with me but airport fees made the care over $100 more. I won’t be ordering from Priceline again. I will order from Avis directly. They are great.

Cons:

See above.
