Car Rental in Southampton

SUV rental in Southampton

The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Southampton are: BMW X5, Hyundai Santa Fe, Suzuki Jimny, Hyundai Tuscon, BMW X3, Toyota Rav4 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. OrangeSmile.com wishes you a safe trip and green lights on the roads of Southampton!

Previous hints
At a crossroads, cars that move along the main road have the advantage. If there is a white line on a road before a crossroads, this means that drivers must stop at the line and give way to cars that move on the crossed road.
An attempt to make a left turn at the red light is considered one of the most serious violations. In the UK, this maneuver is prohibited, and an attempt to make it will result in heavy fines.
Local drivers have much respect for pedestrians. All cars should stop at all pedestrian crossings. Just like in many countries, here pedestrian crossings are marked with “zebra”.
