I have driven over there several times. You will get used to the right hand drive pretty quickly but there is a tendency to drift to the left side (outside) of the lane. This may create an issue with your left side view mirror. Make sure you have a GPS. The last time we had a Garmin which did not require cellular access (preloaded with all data). The roads outside the major cities can be quite narrow by US standards. I have always had a manual transmission. You may want to search for an automatic unless you are very comfortable with a manual. You may want to sign up for $0 deductible insurance. It will be costly but you turn in the car and walk away if you have any damage. Again, some of the roads can be narrow and the tendency to drift left can bring curbs into play. Do not drink and drive. The last time we rented with Eurocar.
