Compare Bury car hire

Just north of Manchester, Bury is a charming town with a deep industrial heritage, a bustling open-air market, plenty of green spaces, and an enduring love affair with black pudding.

It’s also a great starting point for exploring the northwest of England, including the Forest of Bowland, the Peak District and the coast by Blackpool.

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

There are several car hire companies in Bury. Local options include Direct Vehicle Rentals, while Enterprise is a big-name alternative. Choosing a national company can work well when you want to drop the car off at a different place to your pick-up location – for example Buxton in the Peak District or Manchester Airport. You can also pick up a rental car at Manchester Airport, which has more providers to choose from.

If you’re keen on exploring Bury by car, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s a relatively easy place to drive, and there are plenty of places to park. For instance, the large car park on Trinity Street is handy for the Bury Art Museum & Sculpture Centre and The Met. Elsewhere, 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. Here you’ll find highlights including the famous city centre (choose from several car parks), The Lowry (the Quayside is recommended for parking), and Altrincham Market (close to Stamford Quarter Car Park).

Being in Bury also sets you up nicely for memorable day trips to nearby gems. Just north of the town, Ramsbottom is great for foodies, while further north 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.
