Good to know
Usually, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United States. Being younger isn't always a deal-breaker — just expect some extra rules or charges. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before booking.
If the kids are tagging along, check if you should add a car seat to your Lancaster car hire booking. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to ride.
Make sure you have the necessary documents when you pick up your ride. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and additional photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.
Spend a moment familiarising yourself with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, test the lights and blinkers, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stick to the right side of the road in the United States.
Local speed limits may vary, but it's normally around 40kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always check the posted signs.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United States is 0.08%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the surest choice is to avoid drinks so you remain legal to drive.
Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother trip. 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 day-to-day expenses and excursions. Pay with your card when it's possible, but carry a little cash when electronic payments aren't an option.
English is the language used most widely across the country.
