We have put
together a list of the best car hire companies so you can compare prices
without having to leave this page. Remember, you often save line booking
on line and in advance. That way you know your car will be where you want
it to be when you want it to be.
Also, although it may be tempting to leave it and hire a car locally,
if things go wrong, you do not get the back-up you can get from a
national company - and the language may be completely different!
Don't forget your driving licence when you leave. And if you intend to hire
a car in your resort, remember some places will only accept payment by
credit card as a security precaution. In the United States, if you hold a
disabled badge in the United Kingdom, you will first need to call 1411
from any payphone, this will put you through to the DMV (Department of
Motor Vehicles), and they will advise you of the closest office to you.
You should then go to that office, taking with you your UK driving
license, passport and your UK Orange Badge.
Don't forget wherever you go on holiday, criminals employ a number of
methods designed to distract motorists and force them to stop their
vehicles especially if they think the drivers are tourists. For instance,
they might pretend you have a flat tyre. Don't pull over or stop. Drive to the
nearest service station or well lit public area and call the the police.
