How old do you have to be to rent a car in St Ives?

What do you need to rent a car in St Ives?
The essentials are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Make sure you check with your home provider to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in St Ives?
If you’re renting a vehicle in St Ives or planning a big road trip in England, be prepared to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you’re used to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra caution.
