Add a car seat to your Wakefield car hire booking if you're bringing the kids. Regulations change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their size and age is always the safest choice.
Come prepared and keep pick-up quick and easy. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (no copies) and another form of photo ID. Also bring a credit card with enough available balance to cover the deposit. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.
Driving in the United Kingdom may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Be aware that traffic travels on the left side of the road.
Stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 40kph in urban areas and 100kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United Kingdom is 0.08%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.
Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run. 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 day-to-day expenses and excursions. Use cards when you can, but carry a little cash for places that don't accept electronic payment.
