There are numerous benefits to renting a car in Surrey, considering the varied landscapes of the region. Having a car provides flexibility to explore remote areas and hidden gems that are difficult to reach by public transport.

With a car, visitors can easily access popular attractions and enjoy a personalized itinerary.

Driving in Surrey is generally similar to the rest of the UK, with a focus on road safety and adherence to traffic regulations. However, in more rural areas, drivers tend to encounter narrower roads and may encounter occasional congestion near popular tourist spots. Speed limits are standard but may vary in certain areas. The region does not have many toll roads, and driving is on the left side of the road, consistent with the UK's driving norms. The road quality is typically good, ensuring a pleasant driving experience.

You can only rent a car in Surrey if you are 21 years or older. However, some rental companies have a higher minimum age requirement of 25 years for renters. Younger drivers between 21 and 24 years old may incur additional fees when renting a car. To rent a car in Surrey, drivers must hold a valid driving license, either from the UK or an international driving permit (IDP) if coming from a foreign country. However, it's essential to check specific age requirements and driving license regulations with the rental company before booking.
