Car Hire UkCar Hire UKThe United Kingdom is the picture of stalwart stability the world over. The Queens Palace guards, standing at attention all day long, it’s enough to make one want to defect. But if you’re visiting the UK for an extended visit or you’ll be traveling outside city limits, why not check into renting a car? It’s pretty easy and surprisingly, if you’re traveling a lot, it can save you some green…err…pounds, when all is said and done. Cheap car rentals in the UK are not always easy to find. However wherever you’re staying in the UK could be of some assistance; especially if you haven’t made accommodations before hand. Hotel workers love to gossip in the hopes of some gratis. If your front desk or bell hop drops a comment that saves you hundreds over the course of your stay, it’s customary etiquette to show them a little love by way of reciprocity. Besides, these guys have your room keys; and not that they’d ever remember to do something to your stuff, but they could do something like call housekeeping off so you have no fresh towels or something similarly unpleasant. In the UK you can have an American driver’s license and that will suffice. However if you plan on leaving and driving through Eastern Europe you will need an international drivers license which you would get before you left. Car rentals in the UK are very similar to car rentals domestically. Budget Rent a Car and Hertz Rent a Car are two subsidiaries who have offices in the UK; this is especially beneficial if you’ve never been to the UK before as they have websites where you can get direct quotes, as well as any assistance you’d need in your foreign country. Most cars in the UK are significantly smaller than in the US; they also are probably stick shift so if you’ve not driven stick since your dad taught you in your high school parking lot, then you’d better brush up. Also, if you’re under 25 looking to rent a car, you may be out of luck as the minimum age is typically 25. You also need to have a credit card. Speaking of credit cards you’d better have one with plenty of money on it, because not only is gasoline in the UK 3x the price in the US, you really need to spend that extra money to get that full collision. Also parking is really very tight, so be sure and practice not only your stick shift, but also your parallel parking with stick. Finally, if you get a parking ticket and its like, your last day, don’t blow it off! Your credit card will be charged ultimately along with some hefty fines. Renting a car in the UK is pretty easy if you come prepared.
