What do you need to rent a car in Cheltenham?
Your driver's license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ between rental companies, so have a thorough read of your policy.

People in Cheltenham drive on the left-hand side, and the driver's seat and some controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Take some extra time getting familiar with your rental car before getting on the road.
