Important Information when Visiting the United States

  • Keep to the the speed limits: 70 mph on highways and 30 mph in built-up zones.
  • You must stop at stop signs, even if the road looks clear.
  • Something to get used to is that you can turn right on a red light if the vehicle has stopped and the exit is clear. The exception is if there’s a sign stating ‘no turn on red’.
  • If you park on the street, park the same way as the traffic flow or you could be fined.
  • Most roundabouts do not require stopping, which allows vehicles to move continuously through intersections at the same low speed. Roundabouts are designed to move all traffic through a counterclockwise direction. Vehicles approaching the roundabout yield to circulating traffic; however, drivers must obey all signs to determine the correct right-of-way in the roundabout.

  • Some states have a mandatory child restraint law for passengers under 16 years of age. Children under 4 must use approved car safety seats.
  • Plan your trip and check out the directions on a GPS before you begin your journey. Having an idea of where you’re going will make driving much easier. Also, it’s is very important to know the places you are going to visit, so it is always good to know the most favorable routes depending on the type of vehicle you rented. This way, you can reach your destination faster with some alternative route.
  • If you hear or see an emergency vehicle or police car with sirens and lights flashing, you must signal and pull over to the side of the road until they have passed. If in traffic, move as far over to the the right side of the road as possible to leave room for the vehicle to go through.
  • At the drop off time, the car must be returned with the same level of gas that you picked it up.
  • A Valid Driver's License - We will need a driver’s license from your home country to drive in the U.S.A. Digital licenses are not accepted. Temporary Driver’s Licenses may be refused and not accepted.

  • Form of payment - Major credit/debit card under the renter’s name (Restrictions may apply).
  • A credit card or debit card (in the principal driver's name) will be required to put down a deposit for the rental. Deposits vary regarding the protection plan you choose and the vehicle.
