Not moving back to the UK, but just visiting. Will need to rent a car while I am there. Anyone know what I will need to provide apart from my driving licence and passport? Should I pay with my Canadian credit card and use the collision protection from that to decline CDW from the rental company? Any pitfalls I should watch out for?

Thanks in advance.

I think you have the right idea. I used to use my US credit card and that way the insurance portion was covered. I actually brought with me a copy of the terms and conditions of the card too which proved (to myself as much as to the rental company!) that I would be covered.
I used Hertz and I found that I got better prices on the Hertz.com site than on Hertz.co.uk.

Much appreciated thanks.

Yes, that is exactly what we used to do. DL and Cdn CC for the insurance part. Not aware of any particular pitfalls. Enjoy your visit.
