Good to know
To rent a vehicle in the United States, you generally have to be at least 21 years old. Some locations may allow younger drivers to rent vehicles for a surcharge, so always check the terms before finalizing your ride.
Add a car seat to your Evansville car hire reservation if you're travelling with small kids. Guidelines vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, age and weight is always the safest approach.
You'll need to show some documents when collecting your car. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.
For first-time drivers in the United States, remember that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 40kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
In the United States, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08%. If you intend to have a few drinks, leave the driving to someone else or choose another way to travel.
Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run in general. 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 everyday expenses throughout your trip. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cash and cards to ensure you're covered in all situations.
