Good to know

  • You usually 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 booking.

  • If you're bringing the kids along, find out if you need to add a car seat to your Wokingham car hire reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to ride.

  • Come prepared and keep pick-up quick and easy. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no digital copies) and another form of photo ID. Also bring a credit card with enough available balance to cover the deposit. If anything extra is required, you'll find it in your booking.

  • Take your time getting acquainted with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And don't forget to stick to the left side of the road in the United Kingdom.

  • Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 40kph in urban areas and 100kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.

  • In the United Kingdom, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08%. If you intend to have a few drinks, leave the driving to someone else or use public transport instead.

  • Around 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.

  • The British pound (GBP) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day purchases and activities. Pay with a debit or credit card when it's convenient, but have some cash handy when electronic payments aren't possible.
