Britrail pass?

[starbkjrus]

You think hire a car in London and keep if the entire time?

Or train to say, Edinburgh and then rent a car for the time in Scotland? The wrong side of the road thing scares me a tad...

Thanks all!

I am looking at rental car prices and am stunned by how cheap it actually is... though I know gas is almost $5 a gallon!

Thanks for the tips about Edinburgh traffic Phil. I was curious if many hotels there had their own parking or would we have to worry about that as well?

I do drive occasionaly in the UK but don't particularly enjoy it. It's stressful to have everything reversed. I'll do it in the countryside, villages and small towns (no problems in Dumfries for instance) but I'd never drive in Edinburgh or Glasgow. London?!? Good heavens no!

For times in the cities use public transit then hire a car for day trips outside the cities or if you are going to spend a few days village hopping and seeing the countryside.
