  • The coverage Green Motion or another company includes with your Loughborough car rental can differ, so remember to read the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will provide it for an extra fee.

  • Booking one-way could land you a discount on your rental. Providers sometimes offer lower rates when vehicles need to be moved between branches. Just select 'Return car to a different location' when searching the cars for rent in Loughborough.

  • Save money on fuel by choosing a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up the car with a full tank and return it full, so you're only paying for what you use.

Good to know

  • Generally, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United Kingdom. Being younger doesn't always disqualify you — just be prepared for extra fees or rules. Check the companies' terms and conditions before booking.

  • Add a car seat to your Loughborough car rental reservation if you're planning to travel with the kids. Regulations change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, age and weight is always the safest option.

  • You'll be asked for some documents when collecting your car. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's license, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.

  • If you're unfamiliar with driving in the United Kingdom, remember that traffic here keeps to the left side of the road.

  • Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 40kph in urban areas and 100kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in the United Kingdom. The most reliable way to be safe to drive is to avoid drinking completely.

  • Around 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.

  • You'll be using the British pound (GBP) on your trip here. In addition to your debit and credit cards, consider taking some cash for minor purchases.

  • English is the language you'll hear most people speaking in this country.
