What kind of rental car should I get for Plymouth?
Plymouth is big. You could stay a while here and not run out of things to see. If you'd like to take in as much as possible in this buzzing metropolis, you'll need a rental car. Keep in mind that city driving usually goes hand in hand with tight streets and even tighter parking spots. Don't stress though, because an economy or a compact car can make this a lot less daunting. If you can't wait to head straight out of the city and enjoy the rocky coastlines that Plymouth is well known for, you'll probably prefer something with more power and room to move. A mid-size or full-size SUV are perfect for scenic road trips.
Should I get a luxury rental car in Plymouth?
Sometimes the journey is more significant than the destination, which makes choosing the right car important. If you're about to head off on an amazing road trip around Plymouth, a spacious SUV could be the best solution. If you're looking for the best possible deal and plan on sticking mostly to the city, an economy car is a wise pick. All you need to do is decide what suits you best, throw your bags in the back seat, and start clocking up those miles.
What side of the road do they drive on in Plymouth?
In Plymouth, motorists stick to the left side of the road. That means the driver's seat is on the right-hand side. If you've chosen a manual transmission rental vehicle, you'll need to get used to changing gears with your left hand.
Is it difficult to park in Plymouth?
Locating a car space in Plymouth shouldn't be too hard. Of course, it depends on where you are and when — you may find it tricky parking in the very center during peak periods.
Does Plymouth have peak-hour traffic?

What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in England?

Is turning on a red light allowed in Plymouth?
You aren't permitted to turn at a red light in Plymouth. If you encounter one, enjoy a mindful moment until the light switches back to green.
Are seat belts compulsory in England?
