Transport

The UK has a good public transport network, with domestic flights to major cities from London as well as comprehensive rail and intercity bus networks. The only trouble with UK public transport is that it is not cheap unless booked well in advance, and most routes revolve around London. Car rental in the UK is more convenient for sightseeing, especially for locations in remote areas of the Peak District or the pristine Welsh countryside.

Driving tips

People renting a car in the UK need a full driving licence and at least one year's driving experience. Overseas drivers need either an international licence or a full licence from their own countries in English script. Motorists in the UK drive on the left, and car hire is available at airports, ports and all the main towns. Compare cheap car hire in the UK with CompareCarHire.co.uk for the best rates from global suppliers such as National and Hertz.

Places to visit

UK city traffic is busy, and motorists will find country driving more comfortable. Windsor Castle and Legoland are west of London, while the prehistoric monument at Stonehenge is a little farther still. On the south coast, seaside resorts including Brighton, Swanage and Torquay are popular summer destinations.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is CompareCarHire.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

 What is a worry-free label?

Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.
