Hiring a car is a great idea for your next trip to England. Many historic sites in England, including castles and estates, are much easier to reach with a car versus public transport. For example, reaching Stonehenge from London takes around 2h 30min and involves several connections if you take public transport. With a car, you can make the drive in roughly 1h 40min. Many of the country's castles are also easier to reach via car than public transport. For example, you can drive directly to Warwick Castle, but if you take public transport you will need to walk the final distance from Warwick Station, around 15min away.
Driving in England will vary greatly depending on where and when you're driving. For example, the roads in London will almost always be busy, especially during peak hours (between around 6 am and 9 am and 4 pm and 7 pm). As you venture outside the cities you will encounter fewer vehicles and more unsealed roads. Bear in mind that not all car hire companies in England will allow their vehicles to be driven on unsealed roads. Toll roads aren't common in England but there are a few notable ones, including the M6 and the Dartford River Crossing. At these toll points, you'll find booths where you can pay via card or cash.
By law, the minimum age for car hire in England is 17; however, most companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old. Some companies, such as Avis, require that drivers in England be 23 years old or older, while most companies will charge a Young Driver's Surcharge for those under 25. This is usually charged as an additional daily rate and will apply if any drivers are under 25. You will need your valid driver's licence and your passport.
