Car Hire at Liverpool Speke

Part of our guide to car hire in Liverpool.

How to Find Your Car Hire Desk at Liverpool Speke

• Book through eCarBookers first: Your booking confirmation from eCarBookers locks in your price and your vehicle class before you arrive. You pay the balance at the desk on collection, and the terms confirmed at booking are the terms you receive. Always confirm your hire in advance to guarantee your price from the moment you collect the keys.
• Where the branch is: The supplier lists its Liverpool Speke branch at Unit 21, Store First, Estuary Banks, Speke, Liverpool, L24 8RQ, on the southern edge of the city near Liverpool John Lennon Airport. The listing describes the branch as off-airport.
• Where the desk is: One listing describes the pick-up as a rental office rather than a shuttle. The exact meeting point and arrangement for your hire are shown on your booking voucher, which is the definitive source, so check it before you travel and follow it on arrival.
• Opening hours: The listings show the branch open from 08:00 to 18:00 every day. Plan your arrival inside those hours, and confirm the hours for your date in your booking confirmation.
• Arriving by bus: The airport bus stop, a short distance away, is served by routes 80A and 86A to Liverpool city centre. The estate is an industrial area, so check the onward route to the unit on the day.
• What to bring: The main driver should carry a valid driving licence, photo identification and a credit card in their own name with a limit high enough to cover the excess hold. Visitors from outside the UK should also carry their passport and, where required, an international driving permit. Some listings show a driver age range of 30 to 65, so check the age limits in your booking confirmation.

Pick-Up, Drop-Off, and Refuelling at Liverpool Speke

• Returning the car: Return the car within the branch's opening hours shown in your booking confirmation, and confirm the drop-off instructions with the supplier at collection. A key drop box for out-of-hours returns has not been confirmed for this branch, so ask what arrangement applies if your return falls outside those hours.
• Nearest petrol stations: BP Speke (Speke Hall Road, L24 9HD) and Go Garston Way (Garston Way, L19 2JA) are both listed as open 24 hours a day. Refuel before you return the car, and allow time to do so before the branch closes.
• Fuel policy: Confirm the fuel type shown on your booking confirmation before you refuel, and ask at collection which fuel policy applies to your hire, so that you return the car as the supplier expects.
• Before you drive away: Photograph the vehicle thoroughly at collection and again at return, including all four sides, the wheels, the windscreen and the interior. Dated photographs give you a clear record of the condition you received.
• Driving around the branch: Estuary Banks lies in the Speke industrial area, close to Speke Boulevard (A561) and the airport. Set the satnav before you move off, and allow extra time on weekday mornings and late afternoons.
• Clean air zones and tolls: Liverpool has no charging Clean Air Zone, no ULEZ and no Congestion Charge. The Mersey Tunnels to the Wirral are tolled, with a Class 1 toll of £2.40 from 1 April 2026, paid at the AUTO lanes, and an unpaid toll carries a £16 administrative charge if it is still outstanding after 14 days.

How Payment Works for Car Hire at Liverpool Speke

Payment is made in two steps. A rental prepayment confirms your booking online, with Instant Confirmation from the supplier. You then pay the balance directly to the supplier on arrival, when you collect the car.

The price and vehicle class shown at booking are the terms you receive at the desk. Because the full rental amount is not charged at the time of booking, you keep flexibility if your plans change, and cancellation is free.

The supplier may place an excess hold on the main driver's credit card at collection, so check that the card in the driver's name has enough available limit. The amount is shown in your booking confirmation.
