Whilst the main roads are spacious and well-maintained, you’ll find the rural lanes can become narrow and uneven. You should always drive with care in the countryside, as you will be sharing the road with other vehicles, cyclists, and wildlife. Most of the time, the driving style in this region is calm and relaxed, but on the motorways you will find that it is more aggressive. The signposting in the region is also comprehensive, so you should find it easy to get to your final destination.

Whilst the minimum age for car hire in England is normally 23 years of age, there are some agencies, such as Hertz, that will hire to drivers that are 21 years of age, who have held a licence for at least one year. Drivers that are under 25 years of age will also be subject to a surcharge during the hire car period, whilst there are normally age restrictions on the type of vehicle you can get. To hire a car, you will need to show a current driving licence, as well as a valid form of ID.
