KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Birkenhead

  • Although its proximity to Liverpool offers railway and bus links connecting the two locations, a car hire in Birkenhead offers drivers increased mobility and versatility to discover the town, the Wirral district and the greater Merseyside region. Wallasey Beach (5 miles) and Thurston Beach (7.5 miles) are prime summer spots for a swim and stroll, while the medieval city of Chester with its Roman fortifications is about 19 miles south via the M53.
  • Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL) is ideally situated for a Birkenhead car hire opportunity as it’s a mere 3 miles from the town. Avis, Europcar and Enterprise are the companies operating there and the airport’s Car Hire Centre is easy to locate once you arrive. For directions, exit the terminal building and proceed directly across the street to the Short Stay or Express Drop-Off and Pick-Up Car Park where the centre is located on the Ground Floor.
  • Birkenhead is not a large town, but it is served by a good network of highways like the ring road that includes portion of the A552, A554 and the M53 motorway. You can expect this major artery to experience some congestion during any rush hour period, especially the stretch of A554 that leads into a roundabout with Chester Street not far from the Woodside Pier. The Kingsway and Queensway Tunnels that funnel traffic to and from Liverpool are also prime targets for gridlock during rush hours. Keep an eye out for passing cyclists, motorbike riders and pedestrians dashing to get to work.
  • Residents of port towns/cities tend to be early risers and hit the road sooner than most. As such, if you expect to use one of the tunnels in the morning, it’s preferable to be on your way before the 07:00-08:00 hour when vehicular traffic is thickest. The ring road could stay busy through 09:00, so if you can afford the wait you might make better time driving out of town. Evening congestion is heaviest around 19:00 and could remain that way until at least 21:00, especially through the tunnels and streets near the Birkenhead Docks.
  • Standard rental cars in Birkenhead are around 32% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Birkenhead

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

    Larger vehicles, such as full-sized SUVs or intermediate saloons and people carriers, are the obvious choice for families of four or five while compacts and economy cars are standard Birkenhead car hires for duos and solo motorists.

  • Where are the best places to park in Birkenhead?

    According to the Wirral Council, on-street parking is fixed at £2.50 for long stay as well as pay-and-display parking unless you have a residential permit. Generally speaking, on-street parking is free between the hours of 21:00-08:00 and all day on Sundays.
