Driving in London: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You’ll need a valid licence and possibly an IDP.
To drive in London, you’ll need a driving licence held for at least a year. If it’s not in English, an International Driving Permit (IDP) may be required. Most car hire companies also ask for a passport and credit card.
Navigating city driving
Expect one-way streets and left-hand driving.
Driving in London means handling narrow roads, bus lanes, and one-way systems. Use navigation apps like Google Maps or Waze to avoid restricted zones and live traffic hotspots.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
Central London has tolls and emissions charges.
The Congestion Charge and ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) apply in central London. Not all rental cars are exempt, so always check. Most fees can be paid online or in the TFL app. Some routes include toll roads.
Parking your car in London
Parking is limited and often expensive.
Many parking areas in London are residents-only or require pay-by-app. Look for multi-storey car parks, park-and-ride options, or hotels with parking. Avoid red routes, bus lanes, and loading zones to dodge fines.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is available — EV charging needs planning.
Petrol stations in London are common but pricier in central zones. For electric vehicles, use Zap-Map or PlugShare to find EV charging stations in London. Some require local apps or cards — check access before your trip.
Local driving style and tips
Traffic moves fast and cameras are everywhere.
London drivers are direct and fast-paced, especially during peak hours. Give way at zebra crossings, take care at roundabouts, and avoid yellow box junctions. Traffic cameras are widespread and fines apply for hire cars.

How to find U-Save at London Luton Airport

  • Check how pickup works for your U-Save car rental at London Luton Airport. You could grab your wheels at the airport, be met by staff, or catch a shuttle bus to the rental area. Start a rental car search and filter by 'Pickup' to find the collection options available to you.

  • Airport terminal: Pick up your ride right where you touch down. Counters are inside or next to the arrival terminal, so you go from baggage claim to the open road fast.

  • Free shuttle bus: The rental office is close to the airport instead of at the terminal. A free shuttle takes you there after you arrive.

  • Meet and greet: A representative meets you at the terminal soon after you land. They hand over the rental paperwork and your keys on the spot.

  • Prefer a pickup that keeps people and paperwork to a minimum? Some providers offer self-service pickup, which means you can collect your keys from a kiosk or lockbox.

U-Save car rental at London Luton Airport: What you need to know

  • Transmission: Use the 'Transmission' filter to choose between 'Automatic' and 'Manual.' Automatic selects the right gears for you, while Manual is the traditional stick shift. The majority of rental companies include both.

  • Fuel policy: Avoid unnecessary costs by choosing a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You drive away with a full tank and return it full, meaning you only pay for fuel you've used.

  • Mileage limits: Unlimited mileage lets you focus on the journey instead of tracking the odometer. Find this feature under the 'Policies' filter and rack up the miles, not the fees.

  • Age requirements: The minimum age to rent a vehicle in the United Kingdom is typically 21 years old. Providers may have their own rules, so always read your rental company's policy to find out where you stand.

  • Side of the road: Remember to stick to the left side of the road in the United Kingdom.

  • Speed limits: Local speed limits are often about 40kph in urban areas and around 100kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.

  • Required documents: When collecting your U-Save car rental, you'll generally need your physical driver's licence and a second photo ID. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.

  • Deposits and credit card: Providers usually place a pre-authorised hold on a credit card as a security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted at pickup, so it's a good idea to carry your credit card.

  • Insurance: Excess insurance isn't mandatory, but it's a smart add-on if you'd rather play it safe. Policies differ from one provider to another, so check before you book.

  • Add ons: From navigation systems and reverse cameras to additional drivers, the right extras can make all the difference to your U-Save car rental.
