Car Hire in Wigan - Mini guide to Wigan

Wigan is a town in Lancashire, in northwest England. Wigan, a heritage town, is about 15 miles from Manchester City Centre and 20 miles from central Liverpool. Wigan has a number of interesting architectural structures and is home to top flight rugby and football clubs. Car hire in Wigan is a comfortable transport option.

Wigan was an industrial hub that went into decline in the late 20th century. Its former sites have been redeveloped and are now state-of-the-art shopping complexes and business centres. Some of the UK’s leading companies are headquartered in Wigan. The heart of Wigan is its market place, featuring Tudor style buildings, and the Grand Arcade Shopping Centre, next to it.

Car rental in Wigan is a convenient choice for reaching other regional towns and also the myriad tourist draws in the district. The 250 acre Mesnes Park is on the north side of town and features a grandiose pavilion as well as being the venue for the annual Wigan One World Festival.

Wigan is only a few miles from the M6, M61 and M58 motorways which offer quick routes to Manchester and Liverpool driving a car hire in Wigan. The seaside resort of Southport is 20 miles from Wigan and features the country’s second longest pleasure pier and a popular shopping precinct, Lord Street. Southport has numerous well preserved examples of Victorian architecture.

Further north is Blackpool, which is one of Britain’s premier holiday resorts. Blackpool’s principal tourist draws are the Blackpool Tower, the Pleasure Beach Blackpool amusement park, the Winter Gardens, three piers and its long sandy beach. A cost effective means of transport is given by pre-booked cheap car hire in Wigan.
