Mayfair is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what else awaits in the surrounding area. These are some great options:

• Oxford is about 50 miles from Mayfair. Well-known tourist attractions like Christ Church College deserve to be high on your list while you're in town.
• Why not enjoy everything on offer in Bristol too? Notable sights in this colorful city include Cabot Circus Shopping Centre. Bristol is approximately 110 miles from Mayfair.
• Make your way to Norton Priory Museum to reconnect with nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just relax in the fresh air. From Mayfair, it's about 170 miles away.

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in England, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
