Top tips when hiring a car in UK

  • Valid Driving Documents: Ensure you have a valid driving license. If you are from outside the EU or EEA, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your national driving license. Always carry these documents, along with your rental agreement and passport, when driving.

  • Understand Local Driving Laws: In the UK, you drive on the left-hand side of the road, and the driver's seat is on the right-hand side of the car. Familiarize yourself with UK road signs, speed limits (usually expressed in miles per hour), and local driving laws, such as those prohibiting the use of mobile phones while driving and mandatory seatbelt use.  See our guide to road signs in the UK here

  • Check Insurance and Breakdown Cover: Make sure you understand the insurance coverage provided with your rental car. Consider whether you need additional coverage such as Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW). Also, check if your rental includes breakdown cover, which can be very helpful in case of an emergency.

  • Inspect the Car Thoroughly: Before driving away, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it is documented by the rental company. Take photos or videos of the car’s condition, including any scratches or dents, to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.
