  • I have only got it for the weekend - I just won't go anywhere with a hill.

    Do a U turn and point it down hill ... simples

    It is no different than starting off on the flat.

    Put it in gear, release the clutch as you press down on the accelerator.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    If the worst case scenario happens, it's only a hire car and not yours :)
  • As others have said you just drive off. Sometimes they hang on a bit longer on an incline so you might think its not going to release but it will in the end.
  • Thanks everyone - it does release itself. It puts itself on when you turn the engine off too. When performing a hill start you have to push the button to engage it but it releases automatically.
