  • Browse the offers available with Dollar, Hertz and Enterprise. They're some of the top providers in the city.

  • Local speed limits are often about 40kph in built-up areas and around 110kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United States is 0.08%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.

  • One of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination is around 5pm. Make driving easier by avoiding peak periods in general.

  • You'll be using the United States dollar (USD) for everything you buy on your trip. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cards and cash to make sure you're always covered.
