KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Runcorn

  • If you opt for car hire in Runcorn you'll have several advantages when it comes to sightseeing. You won't have to plan your activities according to public transport schedules, and you can drive directly to wherever you want, compared to having to walk from the public transport stops. Visit places in wider Cheshire like Gulliver's World, about 7 miles away, and Apple Jacks Adventure Park, about 6 miles away. You can also easily reach vibrant, historic Liverpool from Runcorn.
  • Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL) is the closest air hub to Runcorn. A variety of car hire brands have branches there, giving you plenty of choice. Their kiosks are located in Speke Hall, which is in the main terminal building. Once you've sorted out your car hire in Runcorn, you'll need to walk a short distance outside the terminal to collect your vehicle. Exit the building, then cross the road to get to the airport car hire parking area.
  • Considering what your driving experience will be like if you book car hire in Runcorn, you'll generally find the road surfaces to be in good condition, and the local council is very proactive in maintaining them. Ironically, this means that you'll often encounter road works, which can slow you down. Check the local council traffic website before you head out, so you can avoid these. As a rule, the local drivers are considerate and relaxed, but do keep an eye out for the odd joyrider.
  • You won't experience many difficulties when you're driving in Runcorn, as traffic conditions are typically calm throughout most of the day. You're likely to encounter congestion on the A557 Runcorn North West road in the mornings from around 05:30 to 08:30 and in the afternoons from around 16:00 to 18:20. The same goes for the A533 Weston Point Expressway, which follows the east coast of the River Mersey and encircles the downtown area before leading out of the town.
  • Small hire cars in Runcorn are around 75% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Runcorn?

    You have a pretty free hand when it comes to the type of vehicle that makes the most suitable Runcorn car hire choice. A compact city car or saloon will be ideal for driving around in the town itself if you're visiting by yourself or with your partner. Families can opt for something roomier, like an MPV, which typically has nice large windows to give everyone sightseeing visibility. Cheshire's roads outside the town are in good condition, so you won't need to go as far as a 4WD if you're going road tripping. You can also hire something sportier if you want to spoil yourself a little.

  • What's the speed limit in Runcorn?

    The general speed limit in built-up areas is 30 mph, but keep an eye out for road signs in areas where it drops to 20 mph, like on Palacefields Avenue and in zones like The Grange Windmill Hill and Hough Green. Main thoroughfares in the town, like Runcorn Road, allow you to drive at 40 mph in certain sections. On wider roads, like the M56, you can travel up to 70 mph in places. The local council is constantly evaluating traffic conditions and residents' requests for speed limit changes, so always check the local news while you're there.

  • Where are the best places to park in Runcorn?

    Runcorn has no shortage of car parks. There are two on the High Street alone, both free for the first 2 hours. You'll also find the same conditions at the Wellington Street car park and the one in Moor Lane. Paid car parks typically charge around £2.50 for 2 hours' worth of parking. If you're out shopping, most of the supermarkets have free parking lots, so you won't have to pay just to pop down the shops either.
