Not difficult (I think), however, a moment of not paying attention could put you at a bit higher risk. Again (as Dawsey said) a reputable company with full CDW is a must. As for theft, I am not sure if the CDW covers, however, paying with certain US credit cards gives you that coverage. With my American Express I am covered for both CDW and theft. Check with your credit card company and get the details.

Good advice, thanks. I have heard about quite afew people having to pay for scratches, dents, etc. that were most likely on the car when rented.
You are right about paying attention,, driving on the left will be a first for me,, better keep my wits about me!! I plan on renting from a major rental firm, Hertz, Avis etc. I suppose that these companies have full CDW???

Thanks, again
