If you want to know how a Soviet nameplate ended up on a modern crossover, we have written the whole story out rather than shrugging at it.

Moskvich 5 car hire in Salford
Probably the only place in the North West where you can hire one. A modern turbocharged crossover wearing a name with eighty years of history behind it.
An unusual car, hired on ordinary terms
Castrelle runs one Moskvich 5 out of Salford. People find us for two quite different reasons: some need an automatic crossover for a week and do not much care what it says on the boot, and some have spotted the name and want to know what a modern Moskvich actually is. Both are welcome, and both get the same car on the same terms.
What you are hiring is a compact five-door crossover with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine, a CVT automatic and front-wheel drive. Roughly 4.5 metres long and 1.85 wide. The badge is the interesting part; the driving is deliberately unremarkable, which for a week of Manchester traffic is exactly what you want.
Self drive car rental only, delivered free inside the M60. Daily hire, weekly rental and monthly hire run off one table, short term rental has no minimum beyond one day, and long term hire past three months is quoted individually. Cheap Moskvich 5 hire near Salford, in our pricing, is a matter of length rather than of thinner cover.

Where we cover
Free delivery and collection inside the M60: Salford Quays, MediaCity, Ordsall, Pendleton, Eccles, Swinton, Worsley, Prestwich and central Manchester. That is where nearly all our handovers happen.
Beyond the ring, 75p a mile each way, quoted in advance. Bolton, Bury, Stockport, Wigan and Warrington are routine. Further afield is usually possible but worth a call so we can be honest about timings rather than optimistic.
Once it is with you, the car goes anywhere in mainland Great Britain. Only the mileage allowance limits you; ferries and travel outside GB need permission in writing first.
