  • Familiarise yourself with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and turn signals, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And remember to stay on the right side of the road in the United States.

  • Local speed limits may vary, but it's typically around 40kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always follow the posted signs.

  • Around 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.
