Compare Bury car hire

Sitting to the north of Manchester, Bury is a charming town with a deep history, a bustling market and plenty of green spaces (not to mention a love affair with black pudding). It’s also a great starting point for exploring the north west of England, including the Forest of Bowland, the Peak District and the coast by Blackpool.

The easiest way to do it? By hiring a car in Bury and heading out on the road. Start your search today with TravelSupermarket and we’ll help you find a top deal.

Bury is near several major roads, including the M60 – which loops around Manchester – the M66 north and the M62 that leads to Liverpool or Leeds. There are also A roads going in each direction, such as the A56, which heads south through the city or north to Ramsbottom.

What that means is whatever your reason for being in Bury, whether it’s a short break or work, when you hire a car the surrounding area is well within easy reach (more on this below).

There are several car hire companies in Bury. Direct Vehicle Rentals is a local option, with Enterprise Car & Van Hire one of your big-name alternatives. Choosing a national company can work well when you want to drop the car off elsewhere, such as Buxton in the Peak District or Manchester Airport (where you can also pick up a hire car, with more providers to choose from, too).

If you’re keen on getting around Bury by car, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s relatively easy and there are plenty of places to park. For instance, the large car park on Trinity Street is handy for both the Bury Art Museum & Sculpture Centre and The Met, the Fusilier Museum has on-street parking right outside the building, and The Rock shopping centre has its own multi-storey car park (with over 1,000 spaces).

After you’ve experienced the best of Bury, you’re ready to start exploring Greater Manchester, where highlights include the jam-packed city centre (where there’s a number of car parks), The Lowry (the Quayside is recommended for parking) and Altrincham Market (which isn’t too far from Stamford Quarter Car Park).

Being in Bury also sets you up nicely for worthwhile day trips to nearby gems. Just north of the town, Ramsbottom is great for foodies and a general potter, while further north, if you fancy a proper stretch of your legs, you can hike up Pendle Hill (just drop your car off at the Barley Picnic Site). To the south, the National Trust-owned Dunham Massey is less than an hour away by car, where there’s a deer park and extensive gardens to explore.
