CAR HIRE LIVERPOOL

• Liverpool City Centre

• Liverpool John Lennon Airport

As the home of The Beatles, Liverpool is one of the UK’s most iconic cities, and a popular site of cultural pilgrimage. But it has so much more to offer than rock ‘n’ roll nostalgia. Its parks and green spaces have been described as the most important in the country, and it has plenty of impressive architecture dating back several centuries, as well as the historic port.

Head down to the Royal Albert Docks with your car, and you can maybe park up and catch a ferry across the Mersey. Both the city’s major football grounds are worth checking out, and with a hire car in Liverpool you can also take a tour of Chinatown, which is home to the oldest Chinese community in Europe.
