Good to know

  • Usually, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United Kingdom. Younger drivers aren't always turned away — just expect some extra rules or charges. Check the companies' terms and conditions before you book.

  • If you've got the kids in tow, find out if you need to add a car seat to your Pontypridd car rental booking. Whether a legal requirement or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.

  • You'll need some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with room for the security deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.

  • Take your time getting acquainted with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And remember to stick to the left side of the road in the United Kingdom.

  • Local speed limits may vary, but it's normally around 40kph in built-up areas and 100kph or so on highways. Always obey the posted signs.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United Kingdom is 0.08%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink anything at all.

  • Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother trip. 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 everyday expenses and activities. Pay with a card when it's possible, and keep a little cash when electronic payments aren't accepted.
