Good to know

  • You typically have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United States. Being younger doesn't always disqualify you — just be ready for a few added rules or costs. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before booking.

  • If the kids are coming with you, check if you should add a child car seat to your Simi Valley car rental reservation. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to travel.

  • You'll be asked to provide some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.

  • Driving in the United States can take some adjustment if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stick to the right side of the road.

  • Local speed limits are usually about 40kph through urban areas and around 110kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in the United States. The safest choice for staying legal to drive is to not drink at all.

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

  • The United States dollar (USD) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay with a card when it's convenient, but have some cash handy when electronic payments aren't accepted.
