When you are travelling abroad, getting a hire car can be an excellent idea. It allows you freedom to explore your destination and find those hidden gems, maybe whilst they are quieter before or after the coach loads drop off.
But if you are hiring a car be very wary of local laws, which can be very different and more sticktly applied than own own. Just because you see locals doing something, don't think you can also do the same.
For example, in certain countries it is mandatory that you carry your driving license whenever you are driving a car. It can also be required that you carry the log book or car hire agreement.
Certain countries require certain equipment to be carried - make sure that your hire company provide these.
Don't forget that some countries have a zero or near zero tollerence on drink driving and a small amount of alcohol could put you over the limit. To get the best out of your experience, check with the company you are hiring from what local laws might affect you and drive carefully.
