  • You'll be asked for some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.

  • Familiarise yourself with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stay on the right side of the road in the United States.

  • Keep within local speed limits of about 40kph through built-up areas and around 110kph on highways. Check the road signs, as limits may vary.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United States is 0.08%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the only way to be sure you're safe to drive is to avoid drinking.

  • One of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination is around 5pm. Make travel easier by steering clear of peak periods.
