This Christmas National Car Rental is providing drivers with an online service so that they can make sure they are up to speed on everything they might want to know about driving in a foreign country. The Drive Safe service is available for free to everyone visiting the National Drive Safe website and provides information which is likely to be of more use than ever now that the winter weather is truly upon us. The site has detailed information about driving in fifty countries around the world. Top tips include local driving regulations, advice on how to best use a vehicle in the city as well as in rural areas, drink drive laws, speed limits, rush hour times, safety initiatives, parking regulations and even whether a child seat is required for younger passengers. The site is interactive so that drivers who wish to share their own top tips for how to best use a car in a particular country can upload their comments onto the site.

The National Drive Safe site also offers other information essential to those driving in a foreign country such as time differences, currency exchange rates, dialing codes and also access to a Google map of the area. Especially important for those braving the weather in Europe and the U.S. at the moment the site also provides an up-to-the-minute real-time weather forecast. For those customers who decide that a reliable, well maintained, spacious hire car might be the best way to travel this Christmas then there is also a list of National Car Rental locations as well as the option to book a hire vehicle through the site.
