Driving Tips in the USA

From the moment you put the keys in the ignition, your rental car is ready to take you to iconic US landmarks and hidden gems. These driving tips will help you make the most of your ride:

Carpooling: Some US highways have a high occupancy (HOV) Lane for vehicles with two or more people. These lanes are marked with a white diamond.
Speed Limits: Expect speed limits between 25 and 30 mph in city areas and 65 to 80 mph on highways.
Police: If a law enforcement officer pulls you over, don’t exit the vehicle unless instructed. Pull to the side of the road, turn off your engine, and wind down your window.
Right on Red: You’re allowed to make a right turn at a red light unless a sign says otherwise.
Distance: The USA is the 4th largest country in the world. Although places may look close on a map, the distance may be greater in reality. Before you start your trip, review our driving tips for the USA and travel with confidence.

While New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles get all the fame, there are so many other places to explore with your rental car in the USA. Add these places to your dream USA road trip:

Big Sur: As one of the most scenic road trips in California, this stretch of coast offers views of the ocean, cliffs, and mountains.
Miami: Known for its sun-soaked beaches, nightlife, multicultural cuisine, and shopping, Miami is also your launching point for a road trip to the Everglades, Naples, or other areas along the Florida coast.
Asheville: Hidden in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, this bohemian town boasts a thriving art and culinary scene. It’s also home to several universities and the historic Biltmore Estate.
