Cheap car rentals in Manchester
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Manchester
- Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is the nearest airport offering cheap car rentals in Manchester at affordable rates. It is roughly eight miles away via the Everett Turnpike. The drive takes about 12 minutes in normal traffic. Drive out of the airport and head northeast. Take the traffic circle exit onto Raymond Wieczorek Drive and keep right. After about two miles, join Everett Turnpike and take exit 5 to Granite Street after about four and a half miles. Drive on the right lane and follow the signs to downtown, which should be less than a mile ahead. The nearest international airport serving Manchester is Portsmouth International Airport (PSM), about 40 miles away. Many international travelers will fly into PSM Airport, where they can still acquire Manchester car rentals with Enterprise as the main provider.
- Map out your routes on the main roads before getting in your cheap car rentals in Manchester. Most main roads require tolls and provide a fast traffic-free route to several cities from Manchester. New Hampshire 101 links Manchester to Portsmouth in the east. Taking the NH 101 gives you access to the entire New Hampshire coast. Interstate 293 runs through the west side, from the Mall of New Hampshire to the Intervale Country Club. Interstate 93 links Manchester to Concord in the north and Boston in the south.
- Keep in mind that some intersections in Manchester can be complicated, and you should drive with extra caution. The most complicated are the intersections on Cilley Road and Beech Street and the intersection on Beech and Bridge Streets. If possible, avoid driving on these routes. Equipping your rental with GPS will help to find alternative routes to bypass these roads. Drivers tend to speed at the Cilley Road and Beech Street intersection. The nearby attractions like Massabesic Lake also increase congestion on the roadway.
- The easiest way to see everything in and around Manchester is on your own four wheels, so rent a car for your time in the city to make the most out of your trip. The city offers a wide array of great attractions which are dotted all around the city, so getting to see them all becomes considerably easier when you can create your own itinerary and are not tied to public transport. Visitors may also consider taking a day trip to coastal cities like Portsmouth, which is only 50 minutes by car away.
- If you land at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, consider renting a car directly from the airport grounds to start your time in Manchester as quickly and smoothly as possible. Follow the signs to the car rental center, where travelers will find a wide array of car rental agencies, such as Enterprise, Hertz, or Avis, to name a few. Via the I-293 S, travelers will be in Manchester in less than a quarter of an hour.
- Bear in mind that winter can bring lots of snow and sleet to New Hampshire and Manchester is no exception. Prepare yourself for wintery driving conditions when visiting during the cold months, and check if the car is properly equipped with winter tires when renting. Travelers may also want to get extra snow chains in case the weather conditions become severe. When there is snow in Manchester, the roads become narrower due to it being piled up on either side, so adjusting your speed and slowly entering intersections is crucial.
- Morning rush hour in Manchester peaks between 7 and 8 am, so it is better to avoid it for a hassle-free ride. Evening rush hour usually kicks in at around 5 pm and can last until 8 pm, clogging up the streets -- especially the I-93 and I-293, which is teeming with commuters. On weekends, traffic is usually pleasantly smooth and drivers should face no problems, but still check current traffic conditions before driving just in case.
- Book your rental car in Manchester at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Off-airport rental car locations in Manchester are around 31% cheaper than airport locations on average
- Standard rental cars in Manchester are around 13% cheaper than other car types, on average
