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.

Good to know when renting in USA

Car rental under 25 in the USA

The minimum age to rent a car is 21 - except for the state of New York, where the minimum age is 18. However, some specialty and larger car categories require renters to be 25 or older. An underage fee may apply to those under 25.

Documents you need to rent a car in the USA

All renters must present a valid driver’s license. International renters also need to show a valid passport. Renters with a license using a non-Roman alphabet (Japanese, Russian, etc.) must also have an International Driver’s Permit.

Crossing Borders

In general, you can drive your car rental in the state where you rented it and states immediately surrounding it. You are not allowed to take SIXT rental cars into Canada or Mexico.

There are many toll roads in the US. If the area where you plan to travel has toll roads, consider adding Express Toll Unlimited to your rental to avoid having to wait in line at toll plazas.
