KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Wigan

  • Visiting Wigan is all about the outdoors. Stunning parklands, walking in woodland and picnicking in country parks will fill your days while visiting Wigan. If you hire a car in Wigan, it will give you the freedom to wander into the natural surroundings and discover the magic of Wigan's outdoors. Park the car at the entrance to Red Rock and hop on your bike for a tour to Adlington. Or pack a picnic and settle in the Borsdane Wood, a magical experience for the whole family.
  • The nearest airport to Wigan is Liverpool (LPL) Airport which is 30km away from Wigan city centre. Booking your Wigan car hire from this airport is a convenient way to get your adventure underway. Finding your hire car help desk at the airport is quick and easy. Head to the airport’s Car Rental Centre, on the ground floor of the short stay multi-storey car park. You'll find the centre when you exit the Arrivals area of the terminal building and cross the road. Notice the Express Drop Off & Pick Up Car Park signs and head straight in.
  • Driving in Wigan is a driving experience much like the rest of Greater Manchester; however, it's not as bogged down with heavy traffic as some of the larger areas. You'll find there are not too many traffic lights slowing down traffic flow, which is welcome. However, you should look out for potholes in some of the side roads and industrial areas where you are driving a hire car in Wigan.
  • When you've sorted your car hire in Wigan, you'll want to avoid getting stuck in traffic during expected peak traffic hours, mainly caused by commuters. Avoid driving on weekdays from 7:00 to 9:30 and 16:00 to 18:30. The M58 link road is a great way to avoid traffic on Ormskirk Road, which is known for being the busiest road during peak traffic times. Another thing to look out for is the wet weather. Generally, when it starts to rain, it can get pretty dark, so driving with full beam headlights is a must.
  • Compact rental cars in Wigan are around 65% cheaper than other car types, on average
