When signing the rental contract abroad, it is recommended to pay attention to the additional services offered by the representative at the rental counter, and sign solely on the extras required by you.
Before hitting the road, find out what type of fuel you must use to refuel the car, make sure you have received the car with a full tank – you will have to return it this way as well. An important tip: gas stations located within the cities are usually cheaper than gas stations situated on highways. Self-fueling will also significantly diminish your costs, especially if you are planning a lengthy trip.
In most U.S. states, a right turn on a red light is legal and permissible, only after halting the car and checking that the road is clear. However, this must be specifically verified in the destination state you are headed to, since sometimes in certain cities within the same state, this rule will be valid, while in others it won’t.
The allowed speed limit in the USA is measured in miles per hour (and not in kilometers per hour), and it can vary from state to state. Driving speed enforcement is existent, and it is recommended to obey the laws and avoid unnecessary traffic tickets.
In certain cases, if the car rental is carried out in one state, but the return is performed in another one, an extra charge might be added. Therefore, it is recommended to plan your route in advance as much as possible, according to the schedules and destinations desired.
