Common questions

Can I hire a car in Coventry if I am under age 25?

Most rental car companies in the UK require drivers to be over 25 in order to hire a vehicle. However, it is possible to organise a rental car in Coventry providing you are over age 21. The only catch is there could be a surcharge fee so it is best to check the price breakdown when you look at the details on our website. You may also face limitations about the type of car you can hire. However, this does depend on the individual supplier.

Do I need an International Drivers Permit (IDP)?

If your home country's licence is printed in English, you are permitted to drive using it for 12 months throughout the UK without the need for an IDP.
However, if your licence is printed in another language, you will be required to have an IDP to serve as a translation of your own licence. As such, it is important to ensure you carry the IDP alongside your individual licence.

Is the metric system used for measurements?

The UK uses a hybrid of measurements on the road. Distance and speed are measured in miles whislt fuel is delivered in litres.
It is also important to note that drivers in the UK keep to the left side of the road and that speed limits are uniform throughout the UK.

What are the speed limits on the roads?

Unless otherwise stated, the speed limit on UK motorways is 70mph. On major highways this is reduced to 60mph and further lowered to 30mph in urban traffic.

What are the other rules to be aware of?

Wearing a seatbelt is mandatory in the UK and children are required to be in a child booster seat until they are over the age of 12 and taller than 135cm.
The use of mobile phones whilst driving is also forbidden in the UK unless you use a hands free device. If you are worried about getting lost in your rental car in Coventry, you can hire a satellite navigation system when you arrive to pick up your vehicle.
