Good to know

  • You generally have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United States. Some providers still accept younger drivers — just be ready for a few added rules or costs. Check the companies' terms and conditions before you book.

  • Kids coming with you? Car seat laws vary from one location to another, and the correct setup may depend on their age, weight and height. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Waimalu car hire booking.

  • Come prepared and keep pick-up quick and easy. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no electronic copies) and a second photo ID. Also keep a credit card handy to cover the required excess. If there's anything extra, it'll be listed in your booking.

  • Driving in the United States may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the right side of the road.

  • 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 signed otherwise.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in the United States. The safest way to stay legal to drive is to avoid drinking altogether.

  • Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run in general. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • The United States dollar (USD) is the currency you'll be using for general expenses and excursions. Pay by card where you can, but have some cash ready when electronic payments aren't an option.

  • The language most commonly used in this country is English.
