London is big. You could vacation for a week or more in this place and not run out of things to see. To take in as much as you can in this busy metropolis, a rental car is a must. Bear in mind that driving in the city often goes hand in hand with tight streets and even tighter parking spaces. But don’t stress — a compact or an economy car will make this much easier to manage.

You’ll be driving on the right-hand side of the road in London. Even though it may seem similar to home, it’s wise to drive a little more carefully in destinations you’ve never been.

Finding a parking spot in London is a cinch. You won’t have to keep driving around the block in dense traffic here — and that’s what the locals love about it. There’s plentiful off and on-street parking to choose from.

As the population of London is approximately 346,800, you won’t have a lot of difficulty with traffic. That being said, downtown streets generally get busy before and after work hours, so you may want to avoid driving during these times.

Speed limits vary throughout London, but generally range from 50km/h to 100km/h. Most residential roads have a maximum speed of 50km/h unless stated otherwise.

Most of the time, your chosen rental car company will bill the amount of the fine to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may share your contact information with the relevant local agency so they can send a fine straight to you.

As long as you have Bluetooth or similar functions enabled, it’s legal to use your phone while driving in London. But be sure to keep your eyes on the road.

When behind the wheel in London, it’s illegal to have a BAC (blood alcohol content) of over 0.05%. Thinking of having a drink or two with lunch or dinner? Consider grabbing a taxi or using a ride-sharing service.

Road rules in London permit drivers at a red light to turn into the direction of traffic nearer to them, without waiting for it to turn green. Before making the maneuver, the vehicle must completely stop and the driver must make sure that the lane is clear before moving on.

Subject to some exceptions, seat belts must be worn when the vehicle is in motion in Ontario.
