Car Hire in Brooklands, Manchester, United Kingdom

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Manchester, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Before driving away, examine the rental car's interior for cleanliness and any functional issues. Ensure features like the radio and air conditioning are working properly.

Take time to carefully read the rental agreement. Being informed about the terms will help you avoid hidden fees and ensure a smooth rental process.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

If someone else will drive, confirm the rental company's policy on additional drivers and any fees that may apply. Some might offer complimentary drivers under certain conditions.

When looking at insurance, consider options with zero excess coverage, meaning you won’t need to pay a deductible for damages, providing extra peace of mind.

If you plan to drive off-road, confirm with the rental company whether it’s permitted. Not all vehicles are suited for off-road conditions.
