  • “The pick-up was easy, it took 5 minutes from arriving at the desk to driving out the car, and the return took even less time.”
    Diane T

Where to go

Nearby Birkenhead

The Queensway Tunnel makes it very easy to drive from Birkenhead to Liverpool, where you can see the iconic Royal Liver Building and visit The Beatles Story. Alternatively, the walled city of Chester is just 35 minutes away and the half-timbered buildings that date back to Tudor times make it particularly charming.

Longer drives

Manchester and Leeds may be further afield from Birkenhead, but with your hire car, there’s nothing to stop you venturing off to find these great northern cities. Much of the industrial heritage of these great locations has been preserved and you can see the perfect mingling of the old and the new.

Eating and drinking

It’s safe to say that the food offerings in Birkenhead are incredibly diverse, with cuisines from all over the world represented in its restaurants. Whatever type of food you opt for, be sure to enjoy a pint from the Birkenhead Brewing Co once you’ve parked the car for the day. From pilsners to stouts, all tastes are covered.

Things to do

The Williamson Art Gallery has a good selection of works inside and is as interesting to visit for the building it is housed in. This is a neo-Georgian single-storey structure that was opened to the public in 1928. Meanwhile, the Birkenhead Market, with more than 300 stalls is a must-visit if you’re a foodie.

Sightseeing

Birkenhead Priory is the oldest building in the town that still stands to this day. It was founded in 1150 and the Benedictine monks knew a thing or two about hospitality. They looked after innumerable travellers over the course of 400 years and were in charge of the first official ferry across the Mersey.
