Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Manchester Airport (MAN)?
Yes, you can. Once you arrive at Manchester Airport (MAN), you'll locate the rental car companies at the Rental Car Centre. Book a ride that's right for you with Sixt, National Car Rental or Hertz. Budget and Enterprise are also worth looking at.
What happens if I need to cancel my Alton car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours in advance of the collection time, the majority of prepaid rentals qualify for a full refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to familiarise yourself with the rental policy. Look over your booking for the specifics or go to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Alton?
The majority of visitors choose economy vehicles in Alton. Motorists love them because they're easy on the wallet. Plus, their small size makes them ideal for cruising around cities, where streets are crowded and parking can be tight. But your options don't stop there. SUVs, full-size cars and compacts are also among our rental range. Whether you're sticking around Alton or venturing beyond, we'll have the wheels for you.
Where can I go on a road trip from Alton?

  • Head to Greater Manchester for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Roughly 56 kilometres from Alton, it has tons of cool attractions like Old Trafford.
  • Next stop? Oxford, which is around 145 kilometres away. Christ Church College is one local highlight you shouldn't miss.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Alton?
You need to be 21 and over to slide behind the wheel of a rental vehicle in Alton. Bear in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits generally apply for specialty and luxury vehicles. Many companies will also charge a young renter fee. Look up the rules before hitting the book button and factor any surcharge into your holiday budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Alton?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Alton?
In Alton, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side. This in itself can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. For a safe journey, take things slow at first and leave yourself some extra time to arrive at your destination.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Alton?
Expedia makes it a snap to find a long-term rental in Alton. Just visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and browse your options.
Where can I find an Alton car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little homework. Managed to find an Alton outlet that does rent to under 25s? Great news! Just take note that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in will have all the details you need.
