Driving Information

When you rent a car in UK it is important that you've looked through some of these rules and regulations about driving a car to ensure you have the safest possible journey. 

Setting the Scene

History greets you on the roads of the United Kingdom.  Visit Stratford-on-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, or drive to the White Cliffs of Dover in the south. London is filled with some of the most historic sites in the world and everything is easily accessible by car.

Car Rental Requirements

To rent a car, you must be at least 21 years old (age may vary by car category) and have held your license for 1 year. Drivers under the age of 25 may incur a young driver surcharge. Some suppliers have a maximum age limit of 69 years old. Seatbelts are mandatory and children up to age 3 must be in a child seat.

Speed Limits

Speed limits in the United Kingdom are as follows:

  • City: 30mph/48kph

  • Open Roads: 60mph/96kph

  • Motorways: 70mph/112kph

Rules of the Road

Traffic travels on the left and you always want to turn left when entering a roundabout (traffic circle).

Fuel

Some fuel stations found along the motorways are open 24 hours a day.

Tolls

There are a limited number of toll highways in the United Kingdom and all car users entering the city centre of London are charged a congestion fee during week days.

There are meters where you can buy a ticket and display this on your windshield. When there is a red line painted on the curb or a double yellow line, parking is prohibited.
