Good to know

  • Generally, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in the United Kingdom. Being younger doesn't always disqualify you — just be ready for a few added rules or costs. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before you book.

  • Add a car seat to your Bicester car hire reservation if you're bringing the kids. Rules change from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, size and weight is always the safest approach.

  • You'll be asked to provide some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.

  • Spend some time getting acquainted with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And don't forget to stay on the left side of the road in the United Kingdom.

  • Keep within local speed limits of about 40kph in built-up areas and around 100kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United Kingdom is 0.08%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.

  • One of the busiest times to be out on the roads in this destination is around 5pm. Make travel easier by steering clear of peak periods.

  • You'll be using the British pound (GBP) here. In addition to your credit and debit cards, consider having some cash handy for smaller purchases.

  • English is the language that most people speak in this country.
