A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of your own coverage. The requirements may differ between suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Porthcawl?
In Porthcawl, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side. This in itself can be daunting, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. To stay safe, take things slow to begin with and allow extra time to get from A to B.
