Common questions

What will I need to hire a car in Manchester?

DriveNow lets you book the car you want prior to arrival, but because there are no booking fees, you don't need to pull out the trusty credit card until you arrive and pick up your car.

Do I need a special licence?

If your licence is in English, you can drive with it in the UK for 12 months. However, if it is in another language you will need an International Drivers Permit. This needs to be carried with your licence whenever you are behind the steering wheel.

How old must I be to rent a car in the UK?

You can book a rental car in the UK as long as you are over age 17, but be aware that drivers under age 25 may have limited options and be required to pay a surcharge.

What are the speed limits in the UK?

On urban roads you are limited to 30mph, but on motorways, the speed limit is 70mph. Along major highways it is 60mph.

What other rules should I be aware of?

You need to drive on the left side of the road in the UK and be aware that speed is measured in miles but fuel is calculated in litres.

Also note that it is illegal to talk on a handheld phone while driving - if you are caught, there are penalties. It is better to stick to a hands-free device or to pull over when safe to make or receive your call.

Seatbelts are mandatory in the UK and children under the age of 12 or those under 135cm tall need to be seated in a child booster seat, which can be hired along with your car.
