  • Spend a moment familiarizing yourself with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stick to the left side of the road in the United Kingdom.

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

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United Kingdom is 0.08%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.

  • One of the busiest times for traffic in this destination is around 5pm. Make driving easier by avoiding peak periods in general.

  • The British pound (GBP) is the currency you'll be using for general expenses and activities. Pay with a credit or debit card when it's possible, and keep some cash handy when electronic payments aren't available.
