Cheap Car Hire on the Isle of Man

Hiring a cheap rental car on the Isle of Man is one of the best ways to have the smoothest possible visit. When hiring your own vehicle, you gain complete flexibility over when you go to places and when you leave places. There is no reason to be waiting around for slow, indirect local bus services, to be hanging around for an expensive taxi or to get sore feet from walking to and from every spot on your itinerary. It is the ideal way to add much needed convenience to your trip away.
 

Information on places to visit in Isle of Man with a hire car

The Isle of Man is only 33 miles long and 12 miles wide but is still packed with plenty of fun things to do for people of all ages as well as a number fascinating points of interest that are well-worth a visit. It sits in the middle of the Irish Sea and boasts over 100 miles of coastline - both rugged and sandy. The town of Douglas is perhaps the best place to begin and it is the capital of the island. Douglas has a splendid two-mile promenade which is perfect for a morning or afternoon stroll and is lined with shops and cafes. Other fun attractions in the town include horse-drawn trams, swimming pools and golf. Just a short journey away is Douglas Head - a rocky outcrop that overlooks Douglas Harbour and provides spectacular views of the region. Make sure that you stop for a photo as you enter the drive's iconic ornate gate! The Douglas Head Lighthouse is also here where you can actually stay as an accommodation option. If you are visiting The Isle of Man in early July make sure that you don’t miss the Tynwald Day Ceremony which has been held every 5th July since 1417! The event sees the proclamation of all laws passed by the island's parliament over the course of the previous year and is rounded off with free concerts, a fair and market as well as a marvellous firework display.
