Many Petrol Stations do not accept Credit Cards, make sure you carry some cash!
Always Carry your Driver's Licence, Passport and Rental Agreement.
Always wear your Seat belts (front and rear), there is an on the spot fine for non-compliance.
Speeding and Drink-Driving both carry steep on-the-spot fines.
In the event of an accident, do not admit liability or part with any documentation or money. Co-operate with the Police and contact the Car hire company.
Park in allocated spaces.
