Requirements can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Guildford?
If you're renting a car in Guildford, you'll have to stick to the left. Be aware that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission if it's your first time driving on the left.
