About Renting a Car at Liverpool Port
Liverpool Port at Pier Head is the city's historic heart, with the iconic Three Graces buildings overlooking the Mersey. With 1 rental agency in the port area, it's a perfect starting point for those arriving by ferry from Ireland or the Isle of Man. Stena Line and Isle of Man Steam Packet Company call at Liverpool Birkenhead Terminal, approximately 3 km north via the Queensway Tunnel.
Albert Dock with The Beatles Story and Tate Liverpool is right next to the port promenade. Ferry passengers should book a rental car in advance - there are limited rental agencies directly at the port. The Queensway Tunnel under the Mersey has a toll - have cash or a credit card ready.
Avoid the port area's limited parking zones and ask the rental company about an appropriate pickup location. Can I pick up a rental car directly after the ferry from Dublin? The ferry arrives at Birkenhead, not Liverpool town center - confirm that the agency can deliver a car to the correct terminal.
How far is it from Liverpool Port to M62 toward Manchester? Approximately 5 km via A5047 and A57, normally 15 minutes to the motorway. Is it easy to park in the port area?
Parking is limited and expensive at Pier Head - ask the rental company about the nearest suitable parking.
