Insurance and optional extras

  • Car rental excess insurance isn't a necessity, but is something you should consider. If your car is damaged, no matter how minor, it can help you avoid paying an expensive excess fee. Different Chelsea car hire providers have varying insurance policies and coverage levels, so check the terms before booking.

  • Make travel easier when you rent a car in Chelsea by adding some nifty extras. Think things like a GPS unit to keep your trip on track, or reverse cameras to park like you're pulling off a choreographed routine.

Good to know

  • Typically, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United States. Younger drivers can sometimes still qualify — just expect some added charges or limits. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before booking.

  • If the kids are tagging along, check if you should add a child car seat to your Chelsea car hire booking. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.

  • Come prepared and save time at pick-up. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no screenshots) and a second photo ID. Also bring a credit card with enough available balance to cover the deposit. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.

  • If you haven't driven before in the United States, keep in mind that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.

  • Stay within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 40kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.

  • In the United States, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08%. If you intend to have a couple of drinks, pass the keys to someone else or choose another way to travel.

  • Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the United States dollar (USD) for day-to-day spending throughout your trip. You may find it handy to carry a mix of cards and cash for more flexibility when paying.

  • English is the language you'll most often encounter in this country.
