From here, it is around a 1-hour drive to Preston city centre. Alternatively, you can hire a car in Preston from one of the city’s central branches.

Drivers must be at least 23 to hire a car in the UK. You will also need to show that you have held your driver’s licence for at least one year. Despite the legal age for car hire being 23, many car hire firms do not rent vehicles to drivers under the age of 25. Some firms will rent vehicles to drivers under 25 but might add a young driver's surcharge on the usual cost. When you go to collect your hire car in Preston, you will need to take a few important documents with you. Firstly, you will need to show your valid driving licence, both when you are booking your hire car and when you go to collect your vehicle. You will also usually need to show an alternative form of ID, such as a passport or a national ID card if you are not from the UK and the credit or debit card you used when you made your booking. Most car hire branches in Preston will allow you to pay with a card or with cash, although card details may be required to reserve your car online.
The UK has strict laws about road safety issues, such as speeding or driving while drunk. If you are caught driving over the speed limit in Preston, you could face a fine or receive points on your licence. As Preston is a busy, built-up city, you should pay close attention to speed limit signs as they may change quite often when you’re driving through a mixture of urban and residential areas. Speed cameras are also usually in operation in UK cities. Drivers should also be aware that the English drink-driving law states that drivers cannot have more than 35 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of breath if they are stopped and tested. Anyone over this limit can face a large fine or even be prosecuted and imprisoned. It is also illegal to talk on the phone or use your phone while driving in the UK. You can use a hands-free device as a sat-nav or for brief voice commands. When exploring Preston by car, you should also pay attention to traffic signs that point out bus lanes, no parking zones, and pedestrianised areas.
If you want to take your hire car outside of the UK, you will need to arrange this with your chosen car hire branch. You will need to get a letter of authority from them and take a photocopy of this with you when you travel. You will also need to download a Vehicle on Hire certificate from an official UK motoring body, such as the RAC or the DVLA. There is usually a small fee for this. Once you have a Vehicle on Hire certificate, it will remain valid for one year. When you hire a car in Preston, you will be able to take your vehicle into other parts of the UK, such as Scotland and Wales without getting permission or applying for a certificate.
