  • 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 to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.

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

  • English is the language you'll hear most often in this country.
