Car hire in Liverpool
1 office in Liverpool · airport pick-up · United Kingdom
Liverpool is far more than the Beatles: a waterfront steeped in industrial heritage with the Three Graces, two monumental cathedrals, free museums at the Albert Dock and a maritime identity unlike anywhere else in England. The city itself is easily explored on foot, but its surroundings call for wheels: a coastline of dunes, North Wales and the Cheshire countryside.
John Lennon Airport lies around 25 minutes south-east of the centre, beside the Mersey estuary. Collecting your car there opens up a whole radius of escapes the train covers poorly: from the beaches of Formby to the mountains of Snowdonia, reachable in an afternoon along the Welsh coast.

Frequently asked questions
Do you pay to drive through the Mersey tunnels?
Yes, the Kingsway and Queensway tunnels linking Liverpool with the Wirral peninsula are tolled, payable electronically or at the booth. If your route heads towards Wales or Chester, the toll is small and saves a considerable detour.
Can I do Snowdonia in a day from Liverpool?
Yes: with an early start you can reach the heart of the park in under two hours via the A55, with time for a valley, a castle such as Conwy or Caernarfon, and a drive back after dark. To climb Snowdon itself, set aside the whole day.
