Good to know
You usually have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United States. Younger drivers aren't always turned away — just be ready for a few added rules or costs. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before you book.
If you're bringing the kids along, find out if you need to add a child car seat to your Reading car rental reservation. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to ride.
You'll need to hand over a few things when collecting your rental car: your physical driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Your booking will show the full list of what's required.
If you're unfamiliar with driving in the United States, be aware that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.
Local speed limits are usually about 40kph in urban areas and around 110kph on highways. Road signs will show if a different limit applies.
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) here. As well as your bank cards, have some cash handy for smaller purchases.
