Pick up your hired car and take the A272 route from Wisborough Green to Winchester to enjoy a drive that is one of the best that the southeast of England has to offer, with stunning scenery. You can also follow the picturesque route from Godalming to Chichester, where the A283 takes you to Petworth. You can then cut across Lurgashall before diverting to Lickfold to finally join up with the A286, a scenic part of West Sussex that winds partly through the South Downs while navigating steep crests and moderate straights. Once you've seen all the top sights along your preferred route, buckle up and drive into the countryside for a unique exploration of nearby towns without any hassle. Alternatively, you can simply enjoy the feeling of just being on the open road with the fresh air. Hiring a car in West Sussex opens up numerous possibilities in addition to removing the strain from discovering new places.

From the A22, which cuts across the thick High Weald woodland, to the quaint sights along the A272, between Petworth and Midhurst. Nonetheless, familiarise yourself with the current driving laws to avoid being fined or possible jail time. Vehicles in West Sussex have a steering wheel on the right side, which essentially means that you must always drive on the left side of the road. Approach roundabouts with caution and always give the right of way to drivers approaching from the right.
