Debit cards usually aren't accepted. The full set of requirements will be laid out in your booking.

  • Spend some time getting acquainted with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and turn signals, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And remember to stick to the left side of the road in the United Kingdom.

  • Local speed limits can vary, but it's typically around 40kph in urban areas and 100kph or so on highways. Always check the posted signs.

  • Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run in general. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • The British pound (GBP) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay with your card when it's possible, but carry a little cash when electronic payments aren't possible.
