Good to know

  • If you're bringing the kids along, check if you should add a child car seat to your Lynchburg car hire reservation. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.

  • You'll need to bring a few things when collecting your rental car: an official driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card to cover the deposit amount. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Any other requirements will be listed in your booking.

  • If it's your first time driving in the United States, be aware that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.

  • Stay within local speed limits of about 40kph in urban areas and around 110kph on highways. Check the road signs, as limits may vary.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United States is 0.08%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink anything at all.

  • 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.

  • You'll be using the United States dollar (USD) for all your purchases and expenses on your trip. You may find it handy to carry a mix of cash and cards to ensure you're covered in all situations.
