Good to know

  • To rent a car in the United States, you generally have to be at least 21 years old. Some providers may rent vehicles to younger drivers for a higher rate, so always check the terms before finalizing your ride.

  • If the kids are tagging along, check if you need to add a child car seat to your Destin car hire booking. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to ride.

  • Bring the right documents to make pick-up as quick as possible. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (no screenshots) and another form of photo ID. Bring a credit card with enough balance for the deposit too. If anything else is expected, it'll be listed in your booking.

  • Driving in the United States may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Be aware that traffic travels on the right side of the road.

  • Follow 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're planning to drink, pass the keys to someone else or arrange a taxi or ride-share instead.

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

  • The United States dollar (USD) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay with your card when it's convenient, and keep a little cash for places that don't accept electronic payment.
