Hiring a car can be one of the best ways to see a new place. It gives you the freedom to go wherever you want to, without having to rely on public transport. There are some things you should bear in mind before you make the decision to hire a car:

• How much will it cost? Rental cars are not always cheap. However, if there is a group of you, this can really cut the cost.
• Insurance. The downside of having multiple drivers is that you will need insurance for all of them. Consider the costs of having one driver or more than on driver.
• The quality of the car. Check the vehicle for any marks before you take it and note down any damage with the hire company.
• Driving abroad. It can be confusing to drive on the other side of the road and on the other side of the car. Decide whether you are up to the challenge.
