There are many exciting adventures to be had in Gay Village, but head farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can discover the surrounding area at your own pace. Add these awesome destinations to your itinerary:

• You'll find Chester Zoo and countless other amazing sights in Chester. From Gay Village, it's 35 miles away.
• Your next stop? Consider Harrogate, which is around 45 miles away. Turkish Baths and Health Spa is one local draw card you really shouldn't miss.
• Brighton Beach is approximately 200 miles from Gay Village and is one of the region's most gorgeous nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in England, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
