Manchester

Manchester is a city of contrasts: Victorian brick warehouses and modern glass-and-steel developments stand alongside world-class concert halls, bustling street food markets give way to leafy canal towpaths, and industrial heritage meets cutting-edge creativity along the Irwell. To fully explore every neighbourhood—from the Northern Quarter’s vibrant murals to the rolling hills of the Peak District—a rental car is indispensable.

Cardamar Car Rental offers seamless booking and fast pickup right at Manchester Airport (MAN) and convenient downtown locations near Piccadilly Station. Our fleet ranges from nimble compacts perfect for navigating tight city streets to spacious SUVs ready for scenic drives through the Cheshire countryside or adventures into the Yorkshire Dales. Every rental includes Collision Damage Waiver, Theft Protection, and third-party liability coverage of at least €10 million. Customize your journey with optional GPS navigation, child seats, additional drivers, and toll transponders for any motorway toll zones.

Essential Manchester Itineraries:
- City Heritage Loop: Begin at the historic Town Hall on Albert Square, drive past the neo-Gothic Central Library, then park near Castlefield to stroll the Roman fort remains and renovated canal basin.
- Football & Salford Quays: Head west to Old Trafford for a stadium tour, then continue along the A57(M) to Salford Quays—explore The Lowry, Imperial War Museum North, and waterfront dining.
- Cheshire Countryside Escape: Take the M56 south through rolling farmland to the charming village of Knutsford—pause for a pub lunch—then wind through Alderley Edge’s beechwoods for panoramic views.
- Peak District Day Trip: Venture east on the A6 toward Buxton—admire the Georgian spa town—then follow scenic B-roads through Bakewell and Castleton for limestone dales and caverns.
