Hey Nick,

Good to see you guys are a
excited about the move... I was also excited 15 months ago.

I do not have alot of answers but renting a car is quite easy. You can drive it of 10 days upon arrival with your UK licence and after that you can convert it to an temporary licence.

What kind of visa will you be on? when my wife was working and i was taking care of the house i used and extended visitors visa but had to leave each every 2 months.

Good luck
