Just 33 miles long and 12 miles wide, the Isle of Man is an island of exceptional beauty and without doubt one of the most unique tourist destinations in the British Isles. With a car hire in the Isle of Man you can surround yourself by nature and immerse yourself in history on a journey that will include visits to Celtic crosses and sites of industrial heritage dotted all over the island. Nestling on a beautiful bay, the capital Douglas is a bright, airy town with a long seafront lined by many of the island's top attractions. Don't miss the the excellent Manx Museum (incorporating the National Art Gallery) with its extensive archives covering more than 10,000 years of island history since the Vikings arrived in the ninth century AD. Perched on a hillside at Douglas Head just outside the town, the world-famous Grand Union Camera Obscura has been using natural light and a series of mirrors to project images of the surrounding area onto the darkened building's walls to stunning effect since 1892. The Isle of Man's most famous tourist attraction, Lady Isabella, is a huge 72-foot waterwheel built in 1854 to pump water out of the local lead mines. You'll also want to visit the Cregneash Folk Village (incorporating the Grove Museum of Victorian Life), a living museum that preserves the island's traditional way of life with a fine collection of well-preserved 19th-century farm buildings and cottages, many of them perfectly thatched. If you still have some time, take a leisurely drive to the island's southern tip for a visit to Castletown built on the site of an earlier 13th-century Viking stronghold and which, for many centuries, was the capital of the Island of Man. Here you'll find Castle Rushen, now a museum showcasing the lives of the island's former kings.

" I was very impressed with the ease of the booking system very quick and straightforward I was given an upgrade on arrival. Probably because they had an offer on with the hotel we were in but as I booked thru the car rental I missed the offer. I was very pleased with the car. I liked it very much.
