Will my GPS work in rental car in England?

We're planning to take our Garmin Nuvi, which has maps of Europe already loaded, to England and Wales. Will we be able to plug it into the rental car's cigarette lighter? We're picking the car up at Heathrow. We don't know exactly which car they'll give us, but we've reserved an automatic. THANK YOU!

Of course, Cars are about as close as you can come to a universal item.

Has anyone suggested that you place you question in the section "To the North" which includes England as this site is specifically about Italy?

Why bother reposting? The question has been answered. No matter what car they give you, the cigarette lighter will be the same and the GPS will plug into it just fine.

Andrea...that's not true. In England and Wales the cigarette lighter is on the wrong damn side!

Thanks to everyone for your gracious responses, despite my mistake in posting this on the wrong message board (I really do know that England is not part of "the boot"). I reposted on "to the North" and received very helpful replies, as well. Sorry for taking your time.
