Renting a car in America

To rent a car you must have a valid driver’s license. If you do not have an American Driver’s License, you can typically use one from your home country, but you may want to consider getting an International Driver’s License that will allow you to rent and drive a motor vehicle in the U.S.

Even if you are ready to pay in cash, your request will be declined. In nearly all cases, you must have a credit card to rent a car in the U.S. It is not only your payment method but also serves as a proof of your identity. Many credit card companies will also include a limited amount of rental car insurance – check with your card issuers in advance to see what types of insurance they may offer.

If you rent a car in the USA, then you can often pick up and drop off your car at different locations for an extra charge. This means that you don’t have to restrict your adventure in any way at all. So whether you are planning to hit Route 66, cruise along the Pacific Coast Highway or even take a coast-to-coast trip, the car hire options are there for you. And if you are looking for a truly rugged adventure, then the Rocky Mountains, Arizona > desert and Alaskan plains are all well worth exploring.

What is the best type of car to rent in Miami?

With us, you can get the perfect car rental for your America trip. If you’re looking for a memorable America nightlife experience, try a luxury vehicle like a convertible car rental. Or, if you have a large travel group, consider a minivan or passenger van with extra space.

Van Rental in America
If you’re traveling with a group, you can take up to 12 or 15 people to a America beach, with a passenger van rental. For a smaller group, consider a minivan rental. In a Chrysler Pacifica, or a similar model, you can head to family attractions like Adventuredome Theme Park.

SUV Rental in America
For a good balance of passenger space and cargo space, consider an SUV rental. Say you want to play 18 holes at Shadow Creek, and you’ve got some friends. An SUV like the Ford Explorer can comfortably transport as many as seven people—and their clubs—to the golf course.

Long-Term Car Rental in America
If you’re staying in town for a month or more, a monthly car rental might be the best option. With a monthly or long-term car rental, you get a better rental rate the longer you rent a car, and you can rent for up to 11 months at a time.

Luxury Car Rental in America
There’s no better way to really get the America experience than driving through the Strip in a shiny convertible car rental. If convertibles aren’t what you’re thinking, Budget offers a variety of other luxury vehicles to help you make your Americatrip memorable and convenient.

 

Tips and Tricks for Driving in the USA America

The US is right-hand drive and remember to keep an eye on your mirror, as drivers in the US don’t always indicate a direction change. You and your front passenger must always wear a seat belt.

Blood alcohol limits can vary from state to state but rules can be strictly enforced, so err on the side of caution. Speed limits can also differ in each state, so always keep a close eye on signage.

Bear in mind that various roads have tolls and some can be unmanned, so make sure that you always have change. However, it is worth noting that many rental car providers can offer access to electronic toll plate systems, which means that toll booths can automatically read your number plate then charge any fees to your credit card.

Every state has different driving laws, so make sure that you familiarise yourself with the relevant ones before your visit.

How to Get Around in the USA America

There is something truly iconic about taking a road trip across the USA. With its wide highways, roadside attractions and larger-than-life scenery, this is a country that truly rewards adventures by car.

If you are planning on renting a vehicle in the USA, then it is worth exploring famous routes you can take. The most legendary one is Route 66, which stretches across America’s heartland on a classic journey from Chicago to Los Angeles. However, bear in mind that some of the original route no longer exists, so contemporary adventurers have to take an adapted journey. On the way though, you can expect to encounter railway ghost towns, petrified forests and retro diners, not to mention the roadside attraction to end all roadside attractions – the Grand Canyon. Your final reward will be the sight of the Pacific Ocean at the end point of Santa Monica.

Why stop there though? If you still have the energy, then from Santa Monica you can take another breath-taking road trip ;– the Pacific Coast Highway from Los Angeles to San Francisco. En route, you can enjoy sweeping ocean vistas, winding mountain roads and must-see stops such as San Jose, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Malibu and San Diego.

Other iconic road trips include the Blue Ridge Highway, the Nashville to New Orleans route and the Great River Road from Minnesota to Louisiana. With a seemingly endless array of driving adventures on offer in the USA, why not plan the journey of your dreams?
