The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Leicester are: BMW X3, BMW X5, Toyota Rav4, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sportage, Suzuki Jimny and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Great Britain ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Great Britain are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
Tourists, who have no much experience of driving in left-hand traffic, are strongly recommended to install a navigator in the car. It can be very difficult to monitor the unusual traffic, search and follow the road signs at the same time.
Local roads are equipped with signs not only for motorists, but also for pedestrians, who may also consider left-hand traffic very unusual. The parts of roads with crossings for pedestrians usually have special signs, such as «Look right» and «Look left». These signs are for pedestrians.
Local drivers have rather a condescending approach to tourists. If there is a misunderstanding with one of citizens while driving, tourists should apologize politely and explain their foreign origin to the driver. Most likely, after an apology the driver calms down and wishes an inexperienced foreign driver to be careful in future.
