A question for the Brits...

I was reading a book in which the character is trying to rent and car with an automatic transmission in England and none of the car rental companies have one available. Is this normal? The writer made it sound like an automatic was rare. I mean, around here, if a rental company didn't have automatics they'd go out of business in a week.

In Oz renting a manual is rare. Only some companies have the option at the bottom end of the range. However I am aware that your information is accurate for Britain, for both the rental and ownership market.😷
