  • Bring the right documents to keep the pick-up process smooth. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no copies) and another form of 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're new to driving in the United States, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.

  • Keep within local speed limits of about 40kph in urban areas and around 110kph on highways. Road signs will show if a different limit applies.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in the United States. The safest way to stay legal to drive is to avoid drinking altogether.

  • Around 5pm is one of the busiest times for traffic in this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.

  • You'll be using the United States dollar (USD) for everything you buy on your trip. You may find it useful to carry a mix of cash and cards to cover you in every situation.
