Not to be confused with the one located in England, Manchester Airport IATA: MHT is also known as Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and lies in both Manchester and Londonderry, USA. It has a reputation particularly for not caving under any bad weather. Since its opening back in 1927, the Manchester Airport has only been closed once and that was due to a nationwide order following terrorist attacks.

Convenience

Manchester Airport may be pretty busy but there are several car rental agencies available for those who wish to use car hire rather than rely on the airport shuttle for transportation to their accommodation areas. And not just for accommodation; with a car for hire, you can get your dream vehicle for use during your duration of stay in the area. This will particularly come in handy if you are not entirely visiting the area for vacation purposes; meaning with a rental car, you could get to tour the city and its surroundings once you are done with your primary duties.

Understanding the policies

Different agencies will hold different rules and policies for their car hire customers. This therefore means that you should have looked into the various companies at Manchester Airport well in advance so as to avoid any conflicts after you have already made the necessary payments. Some of the things to look out for include:

Age limits - Most agencies have a minimum and maximum age at which renters may or may not rent out a car. Also for the stipulated age groups, there may be restrictions on the type of vehicle they are allowed to hire.
Deposits - Does the particular agency require you make a deposit upon making your booking? Is the deposit refundable in case you eventually change your mind and opt against car hire or decide to go with another rental agency?
Extra driver - Does the car rental agency need you to pay extra for an additional driver? Are there any age restrictions on this additional driver?
Additional charges - What are the additional charges imposed on renters? Beware especially of the agencies that woo you in with a low price because these will more often than not have a couple of hidden charges.
Pick up and drop off - Do they require you drop off the vehicle at the same location after your lease period is over? Is there a penalty for late drop offs?
