Our Wigan Car Hire Fleet
Choosing the right vehicle can make a big difference to comfort, luggage space, parking and fuel use. Our Wigan car hire fleet includes small, medium, large and automatic options, giving you a range of practical choices for different journeys.
Small Car Hire in Wigan
Small hire cars are a great choice for Wigan city driving as their compact size can make busy streets and tighter parking spaces easier to manage. They are also a practical option for couples or solo travellers who do not need a large amount of luggage space.
Large Car Hire in Wigan
A large car can be better suited to family holidays, group travel or journeys involving several cases and bags. EasiHire’s larger cars and estate-style options provide added space for passengers and luggage, helping make longer journeys more comfortable.
Medium Car Hire in Wigan
Medium cars offer extra passenger and luggage space while remaining manageable in urban areas. They’re best suited to family days out, business travel, longer journeys and customers who want more room without moving up to a large vehicle.
Automatic Car Hire in Wigan
Automatic car hire can make stop-start city driving simpler and can be a useful choice for drivers who prefer not to use a manual gearbox. EasiHire offers automatic models subject to availability, so if an automatic is important for your trip, we recommend booking ahead or contacting the Wigan team so they can confirm suitable options.
Flexible Car Hire for Every Journey
While some customers only need transport for a day or weekend, others will need a vehicle for work, an extended stay or a period when their own car is unavailable. EasiHire offers flexible rental periods so you can choose an option that fits the length and purpose of your trip.
- Short-term and weekend car hire: Short-term car hire is useful for day trips, weekend breaks, visiting family or getting around while your usual vehicle is off the road.
- Long-term car hire: Long-term car hire is available for customers who need a vehicle for several weeks or an extended period, useful for longer stays in Wigan or temporary replacement transport.
- Business car hire: Reliable transport can be important for meetings, site visits, client appointments and temporary business requirements. EasiHire supports business customers with flexible car hire options to suit your needs.

Getting Here via Wigan Wallgate and Wigan North Western
Wigan’s two principal central railway stations are Wigan Wallgate and Wigan North Western. EasiHire’s Queen Street branch is close to the town centre and Wigan’s railway stations, making rail a practical option if you are travelling into Wigan before collecting your car.
Getting Here via the M6, M58 and M61
Wigan has strong connections to the motorway network with quick access to the M6, M58 and M61 for journeys across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside. The depot is around five minutes by road to the M6 and roughly ten minutes to the M61 around Horwich and Westhoughton.
Calling the branch before you arrive is a good way to confirm collection details and vehicle availability. We’re always happy to help with local collection information if you are unsure of the best route; just give us a call!
What you Need to Hire a Car in Wigan
Having the correct documents ready can make collection quicker. Requirements can vary according to your licence and circumstances, so contact the branch in advance if anything is unclear.
Driving Licence and Documents
EasiHire asks hirers to bring a valid driving licence and supporting identification. GB licence holders should also provide a DVLA licence check code. UK residents may be asked for address evidence, while non-UK residents should bring a passport alongside their driving licence and any other documentation requested by the branch.
Insurance and Excess
Standard CDW insurance is included with Wigan car hire, though an excess applies, so additional cover may be available to reduce that excess. The team can explain the cover, excess and any optional protection before you collect your car, so you know what applies to your booking.
Deposits and Payment
A credit card is required for car hire, so be sure to bring a suitable card in the main hirer’s name when collecting the vehicle. Credit-card deposits are usually released within 24 hours after the hire ends, though bank processing and weekend delays can affect when the funds become available.
Driving a Hire Car in Wigan
Wigan has strong motorway connections, but local journeys can involve busy town-centre routes, established residential roads and congestion on key corridors.
Driving and Parking in Wigan Town Centre
Wigan Council operates a number of town-centre car parks alongside on-street pay-and-display parking. Current council car parks include Water Street, Trencherfield Mill, Mona Street, Harrogate Street, Sovereign Road and Haig Street. Charges and maximum stays vary according to location.
Wigan Council currently provides free weekend parking on its town-centre car parks, although roadside parking and some privately operated locations are excluded. The council also operates 324 on-street pay-and-display spaces in Wigan, with maximum stays ranging between one and four hours depending on the space.
Always check the signs and payment instructions where you park.
Getting Around Wigan and the North West
Wigan’s location gives drivers useful connections to Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside.
The M6 and M58 provide important links on the western side of the borough, while the M61 supports travel towards Bolton and Manchester. The A49 is also a major local route and has been upgraded to improve connections around the town.
Exploring the North West by Car
Hiring a car gives you the flexibility to travel between Wigan and neighbouring destinations more easily, so you can travel on your own schedule, carry luggage more easily and plan stops along the way.
- Wigan to Manchester: Manchester can be reached using the road network east of Wigan, with the M61 providing one of the key motorway links towards the city.
- Wigan to Liverpool: Wigan also has strong connections towards Merseyside, with the M58 and wider motorway network supporting journeys towards Liverpool.
- Wigan to the Lake District: Wigan’s access to the M6 makes it a useful starting point for journeys north towards Cumbria and the Lake District.
