Touring by Rental Car
Driving in the UK
Exploring England , Ireland , Scotland and Wales is easy . In the countryside , the roads are excellent , well signposted and largely toll free . Distances between towns are short and driving is on the left-hand side of the road , same as in New Zealand .
Choosing your Rental Car
Take into consideration the size of the vehicle you require . We strongly recommend a minimum 1.4 litre for two adults . If the vehicle is to be used for day touring from a central base and not for transporting your luggage , a smaller vehicle may be adequate . We suggest you book your car before leaving home as this will save money and ensure you get the car of your choice .
