Car rental is ridiculously expensive; they often quote a small amount per day maybe £20, leading you to believe it's a good deal, then when you turn up they add on the insurance at sixty quid per day! And it doesn't matter that you have fully comprehensive insurance yourself, you must pay their "insurance". It's a bloody scam. And if you are used to driving an automatic, they are in short supply in the U.K. Please remember we drive on the correct side of the road here.
If you are going to crash into another vehicle on a single-lane road, crash to the left. I once came head-on against a rental car full of Spaniards who instinctively crashed to their right, just as I swerved to my left...
