When you're looking for cheap car hire in Wigan, you need to decide which vehicle type is best for your trip. You'll probably be more than happy with a small, compact economy car. Any vehicle in this category has the safety technologies to handle the wet weather while being light enough to manoeuvre in city driving conditions. Just make sure the car you pick up has a good set of windscreen wipers and tires with good traction for wet weather driving, and you are good to go.

When driving your hire car in Wigan, you'll follow the same speed limits as the rest of Greater Manchester. A speed limit of 30mph applies to driving on roads with street lights and places no further than 183 metres away from each other. However, you'll find signs that have to show when speed limits drop to 20 mph in residential and built-up areas, mostly around schools or pedestrians, are more likely to be at risk.

There is plenty of free parking in Wigan. Street parking is readily available, as well. Free weekend parking is available all day in council-owned car parks.

It is open from Monday to Saturday from 09:00 till 19:00 and on Sundays from 10:00 till 18:00.
