Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from John Lennon Airport (LPL)?
After arriving at John Lennon Airport (LPL), make your way to the car rental center in the parking lot opposite the arrivals area. Euopcar and Avis/Budget are two great choices.
What happens if I need to cancel my Birkenhead car reservation?
No need to worry. You should be eligible for a full refund if you let us know at least six hours ahead of collecting the car. Your confirmation contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings result in a refund though, so you may want to go over the policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Birkenhead?
Bustling city streets and tight parking spaces are no issue for an economy car — the most sought-after type of rental in Birkenhead. Hop behind the wheel of one of these and negotiate traffic like a dream. Affordable, reliable and with terrific mileage, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Birkenhead can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are some other options to choose from.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Birkenhead with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare prices, offers and providers, and to check customer reviews. Bundle your Birkenhead car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you'll save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Birkenhead?
Birkenhead requires drivers to be at least 21 to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and stricter rental conditions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Birkenhead?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Birkenhead?
In Birkenhead, motorists drive on the left-hand side. This can be daunting enough, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. For a safer ride, take things slow to begin with and allow yourself ample time to reach your destination.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Birkenhead?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then lock in your perfect ride. Whether you're stopping in Birkenhead or venturing far beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an awesome rate.
Where can I find a Birkenhead car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Birkenhead often depends on the rental company you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, whereas others may not have any additional fees for this age range. It'd be good to understand the terms and conditions of your preferred rental company to avoid extra charges at the rental desk.
