Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental provider.
What side of the road do you drive on in Downe?
People in Downe drive on the left-hand side of the road, and the driver's seat and some controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Take some extra time getting to know the differences before taking off.
