I'm considering renting a motor in Gran Canaria in the summer but have never driven abroad so I am a little nervous at the thought .

I'm hopeful that it will just feel natural driving on the right with a left hand drive vehicle.

How have others found driving abroad for the first time ?

Also , any tips on what site to use to book one ? I've been looking at money supermarket , car rentals.com and sky scanner.
I understand that if I take my own excess insurance , the rental company can put a hold of around £1200 on a credit card.
Should I pick up at the airport or will I get a better deal in the resort ?

Average size car with full to full fuel is working out at just under £200 for 2 weeks in August.

Any advice welcome.

Cheers
