I recently used Turo Rental Car app during my trip, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.
It was perfect for navigating around Wales and England with great gas mileage and small size works well on the skinny roads with cars parked half on the sidewalks.
Brilliant, Alisdair even dropped off the car for me, as it was convenient for him as well.
Alasdair is a fantastic and flexible host and the car is perfect for what it is.

When the Six Nations rugby is on (or any other major event at the Millennium Stadium), look for road closures and be prepared for some lengthy delays.
Outside Cardiff, the Welsh roads can be pretty quiet. But just like every other city, Cardiff has a rush hour in the morning and late afternoon, so plan your trips around peak times to avoid getting caught up.
The main route in and out of Wales is on the M4 motorway, which runs from London to Wales and sits north of Cardiff. The charge to cross the Prince of Wales Bridge on the M4 from England to Wales was dropped in 2018, meaning motorists can travel over the River Severn for free.
