Question 12

Can I drive near London (LGW-Gatwick) with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in England, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
