Good to know
To rent a car in the United States, you usually have to be at least 21 years old. Some providers may offer rentals to younger drivers for a higher fee, so carefully review the policies before confirming your booking.
Bringing the kids with you? Car seat requirements vary by location, and the correct setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Alhambra car hire reservation.
You'll be asked for some documents when you pick up your ride. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds for the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.
Spend a moment familiarising yourself with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, test the lights and blinkers, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in the United States.
Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 40kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United States is 0.08%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, 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 smoother 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 everyday expenses on your trip. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cards and cash to cover you in every situation.
