To rent a car in the UK, you must present a valid driver's license from your home country that obtained at least 12 months ago, your passport and your credit card.

If your driver's license is European, it is valid for car rentals in the UK. Nonetheless, for more assurance, obtaining an international driver's license may be compelling, especially if yours is not written in English. Watch out! The international license does not replace your original driver’s license, it only complements it. You must have both documents with you at all times.

Moreover, it is very important to review the Highway Code of the country of your destination. For example, in the UK... we drive on the left!

In some countries, foreign drivers must have an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is valid for 1 to 3 years. It's an official translation of your driver's license in a dozen languages and you can use it in over 150 countries! 

It can be required or simply recommended depending on the country.

All over the world, age conditions and restrictions are applied for car rentals.

An increase in the price of the rented vehicle can therefore be induced. The minimum age required for a car rental varies according to the country of destination. In addition, each rental company can decide for themself whether to maintain this minimum age or to increase the minimum age limit for car rentals.

In the UK, you can rent a car from the age of 18 at some car rental companies, however the majority of them will require a minimum of 21 years old.  Be careful, some renters can even ask for a minimum of 23 years old.

Car seat regulations vary from country to country. You should always check the road safety regulations of the country you plan to visit for your child’s safety.

In the United Kingdom, any child under 135 cm or under 12 years old must be placed in a suitable seat.

If your seat meets these standards, bring it with you! It's free to bring with most airlines and your child will be comfortable and feeling right at home.

Otherwise, you will have to consider renting a child seat with your vehicle. This option will be payable in advance or at the counter, depending on the rental companies.

Please note that not all rental companies offer this option.

Planning a road trip also means having to budget for fuel.
