If your routes in Great Britain are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.

At the rental office in Leeds, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.

Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

Detailed FAQ on the rental process

Driving Advices for Great Britain – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities

Because of private land plots, there is a serious problem in the highlands. Many compare driving on local roads with a roller coaster - there are so many sharp turns, climbs and descents. It is simply impossible to find a single straight road in the piedmont region. All the roads here are very winding, and quite often one should make a big detour in order to reach the destination.

Local drivers are very attentive to speed limits. Foreign guests are also recommended to follow this behavior. There are many radar spots on roads, the presence of which is notified by special signs. Most radar works on the outgoing end.

Fans of travelling to the countryside, should remember that all land in the UK is in a private ownership. Because of this reason, it will be really hard to make a stop, get out of the car and slowly walk through the woods. Almost all the land outside towns is surrounded by fences.

Sightseeing of Leeds, Great Britain

Leeds: topics

Just like some museums - for example, the Museum of the History of Science, Technology and Medicine or Leeds Discovery Centre, where tourists can learn a lot of interesting information about the world around them through interactive exhibits. For those wishing to explore the military history of the whole world, it is worth highlighting the Royal Armouries Museum. Particularly impressive is its building's interior, thanks to which no exhibit can be missed. The collection includes weapons and armor - everything that, in one way or another, is associated with the war. The Thackray Medical Museum introduces visitors to the history of medicine. Its most valuable collection is an exposition dedicated to diseases that have claimed the lives of hundreds of people.

The Leeds City Museum is dedicated to the history of the city and the region. However, among its exhibits, one can also find a collection dedicated to world history. The museum is completely free of charge, and its special feature is a special playground for kids. Besides the beautiful collection, the museum building is attractive with its outstanding architecture. It was built back in 1813 in the Neo-Baroque style and restored only once - after 1941, because many exhibits and the building itself were damaged during the bombing. Leeds Art Gallery will appeal to those wishing to admire some beautiful works of fine and sculptural art, and the M&S Company Archive would be a real find for retro enthusiasts: here they can find everything related to the 1950s and 1960s. Connoisseurs of contemporary art should head to The Tetley Art Gallery.
