Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Manchester Airport (MAN)?
The rental car counters at Manchester Airport (MAN) can be found at the Rental Car Centre. Here you'll be able to grab a ride at Sixt, National Car Rental or Hertz. Budget and Enterprise also offer some top deals.
What happens if I need to cancel my Wigan car reservation?
We get that flexibility while travelling is important. That's why the majority of rentals give a full refund if you let us know six hours prior to the pickup time. You may want to read over the cancellation policy though because there are some exemptions. If the info isn't there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Wigan?
Busy city streets and tight parking spots are no issue for an economy car — the most popular type of rental in Wigan. Jump behind the wheel of one of these and get around traffic easily. Reliable, affordable and good on gas, these small cars pack a punch. But Wigan can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are other options to consider.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wigan?
You need to be at least 21 to get behind the wheel of a rental car in Wigan. Take note 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 premium vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge a fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before clicking book and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Wigan?
Generally, all that's required is a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your vehicle. You may also need proof of coverage if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between rental providers, so remember to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Wigan?
If you're renting a car in Wigan or road-tripping around England, you'll be driving on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Wigan?
Yes, and you're sure to find your perfect set of wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip dates and we'll show you terrific options from a range of trusted suppliers.
Where can I find a Wigan car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to book a rental in Wigan, you'll need to check the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any nasty surprises on pickup, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
