It is recommended to rent a compact or intermediate car for driving in London. While the roads in the city are generally well-maintained, some of the rural roads in the area can be narrow and winding. A smaller car will be easier to maneuver and park on these narrow roads. These cars are also often more fuel-efficient, which is important if you plan to travel longer distances.

The speed limit in London varies depending on the type of road and the location. In general, residential areas have a speed limit of 25 mph, while larger roads and highways have higher speed limits. For example, the speed limit on Interstate 75, which runs through London, is 70 mph. Other main roads, such as Highway 192 and Highway 25, usually have a speed limit of 45 to 55 mph. It is always important for drivers to pay attention to speed limit signs when operating London car rentals to ensure safety on the road.
