Good to know

  • Typically, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United Kingdom. Some providers still accept younger drivers — just expect some extra fees or restrictions. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before you book.

  • Planning a trip with the kids? Car seat regulations vary depending on where you are, and the right setup may depend on their weight, age and height. Make sure you add the right one to your Horley car hire reservation.

  • You'll have to provide some documents when you pick up your ride. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.

  • Driving in the United Kingdom may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stick to the left side of the road.

  • Local speed limits are usually about 40kph (25mph) in built-up areas and around 100kph (65mph) on highways. Road signs will show if a different limit applies.

  • 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.

  • Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run. 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 day-to-day purchases and activities. Pay with a credit or debit card when it's possible, but carry a little cash when electronic payments aren't an option.
