  • You'll need to show some documents when collecting your car. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds for the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.

  • If you've never driven in the United Kingdom, keep in mind that traffic here sticks to the left side of the road.

  • Local speed limits may vary, but it's usually around 40kph in built-up areas and 100kph or so on highways. Always go with what's posted on the road signs.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in the United Kingdom. The only guaranteed way to stay safe to drive is to avoid alcohol completely.

  • Around 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid peak times generally for a smoother trip.

  • The British pound (GBP) is the currency you'll be using for everyday purchases and activities. Pay with a credit or debit card when you can, but have some cash handy when electronic payments aren't an option.

  • English is the language you'll hear most people speaking in this country.
