  • Spend some time getting acquainted with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get used to its handling before you set off. And remember 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 built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always go with what's posted on the road signs.

  • English is the language used most widely across the country.
