| Other - by Nadine from Reading |
| London is amazing, tremendous, can't ever get enough of it. Drive a duel-fuel car and don't pay surcharge which is being increased from July 2005. |
| Other - by Pamella from Cape Town |
| Driving in London is great as we were able to select a dual fuel car, which means it runs on both gas and petrol. Because it runs on gas we can drive into London without having to pay the £5 surcharge for driving in central London spewing out exhaust fumes. The gas also costs a fraction of petrol.

| Safety - by hussein from london |
| drive within your limit in residental areas, unknown hazards can be easy to deal when you dont have to break hard! |
| Speed limit - by Benny from NY |
| Speed Cameras in London are more common than Bobbies on the beat these days. Don't think for one minute that you can get away with not paying these fines because you have a rented car. So be careful and keep your eyes peeled! |
| Parking - by Justin from Cape Town |
| Watch out for those damn traffic wardens!! Make sure you always have change for the parking meters - don't park and then run into a shop to get change because by the time you return to feed the meter you will more than likely have a hefty fine waiting for you! |
