  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when collecting your rental car: your physical driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds for the security deposit. Debit cards usually aren't accepted. Your booking will show the full list of what's required.

  • If you've never driven in the United States, be aware that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.

  • Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 40kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.

  • You'll be using the United States dollar (USD) on your trip here. Along with your bank cards, consider bringing some cash for minor purchases.

  • English is the language spoken in most parts of the country.
