Enterprise car hire locations - Lancashire

Lancashire is a great holiday destination – it is such a varied county with so much to see. Perhaps its most famous town is the seaside resort of Blackpool, with its Tower, Pleasure Beach and Zoo. Morecambe Bay is a little distance up the coast from Blackpool, a very picturesque part of the world on the edge of the western perimeter of the Lake District. Or what about a visit to see what some of those old mill towns have to offer? Enterprise can make it all possible.

Our Vehicles For Hire In Lancashire

At our Enterprise branch in Lancashire, we appreciate that our varied customers have different needs. This is why we offer a wide range of vehicles, with a suitable choice available for every kind of trip to this region. We have small, about-town cars that deliver great fuel economy, such as the Toyota Aygo or Vauxhall Corsa. A step up from that and Enterprise will be booking out a Ford Focus or perhaps a Toyota Insignia. Our fleet of Skoda Octavias are a particular favourite for those who want a little more space, don't want to scale down while their own car is in dock, or want to go touring with a group of family or friends. We also have Mercedes-Benz C and E class models for rent.

Attractions In Lancashire

Visitors to Lancashire usually want to spend at least a day in Blackpool. In summer, you can experience sandy beaches on the Irish Sea. During the winter months, you can wonder at the annual illuminations, when the promenade becomes a festival of colour. Blackpool is known for its entertainment and the Opera House and Winter Gardens attract major stars from across the globe. The Trough of Bowland is an equally popular beauty spot with walkers and cyclists alike. The road through the Trough links Clitheroe with Lancaster and is the route taken by the Pendle Witches on the way to their trial in 1612.

Places To Go Outside Lancashire

Prior to boundary changes in 1974, both Manchester and Liverpool were part of Lancashire. Today, of course, they are metropolitan counties and promise a great day trip to explore from Lancashire with a hire car. Manchester is a thriving metropolis with a vibrant shopping centre, high-class restaurants and bars, and of course, two football teams. Liverpool is steeped in its maritime history – visit the regenerated Albert Docks, take a ferry across the Mersey to Birkenhead or book yourself on a Beatles tour. If a city experience doesn’t appeal to you, the Lake District is not too far away. Drive up to Kirkby Lonsdale and from there up to Kendal, Lake Windermere and its charming town.

Airport Car Hire

Manchester International Airport, situated at Ringway, is the third busiest airport in the UK and is easily accessible from all parts of Lancashire. The airport has flights to over 200 different destinations, and the world's major airlines operate from here. The airport has a range of parking options, including multi-storey covered parking and is only a two-minute walk from check-in. Parking facilities include long stay parking, with a transfer time by shuttle bus of 4-5 minutes, and longer Jet Stay and Jet Stay Plus options, which must be booked in advance. Enterprise has a branch close to the airport, so regardless of whether you collected your car rental from our airport branch, you can arrange to return it there so you don't have to worry about other forms of transport to the airport.

Parking And Traffic

In terms of parking, Lancashire is no different to any other county with parking facilities operated by both local councils and private operators. In some of the quieter towns, it is possible to find free parking spaces; in large urban centres, parking tends to be at a premium. The M6 Motorway is central to Lancashire’s economy and enters the county close to Lancaster, the County Town, and runs close to Preston, the administrative centre. The M65 from Colne connects Burnley, Accrington and Blackburn to Preston. Manchester is linked to the county through the M61 and M66, and the M62, one of the highest motorway routes in the country, provides the link to Leeds and the M1.
