By car

The main route into Liverpool is along the M62. If you are instead approaching from the Wirral, there are toll roads to cross the Mersey.

The Kingsway (Wallesey) and Queensway (Birkenhead) tunnels to the city centre both have toll booths at the Wirral end of the tunnel. Crossing charges can be paid by card. The Queensway has two exits at the Liverpool end, but only one entrance.

The Runcorn bridge uses numberplate recognition, and crossing charges must be paid online by the end of the following day. Hire cars must use other arrangements.

There is some free all-day on-street parking available in residential areas of the city, but not in the centre. Car parks typically fill up during standard working hours.
