Driving in America is a \u2018must-do\u2019 for many people. America\u2019s open roads offer an undeniably free experience, giving you a sense of pioneering spirit. Driving is the perfect way to fully absorb everything this country has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With multiple rental options you get the versatility to travel the way that best suits your journey; be it a family-friendly minivan, a convertible, muscle car, butch pick-up or a whopping RV. Driving in the USA allows you to live out your fantasies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In America the big difference in driving is that you drive on the right, not the left. However, the road set-up is very similar to the UK and both speed and speed limits are displayed in miles per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

America\u2019s road network is mainly made up of motorways and interstates so it\u2019s a good idea to hire a car that has plenty of oomph, so you won\u2019t have any issues cruising along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Documents Are Required to Drive in the USA?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Driving in America is a popular choice for many British travellers. The open roads offer a sense of freedom and adventure, allowing you to explore everything this vast country has to offer. From family-friendly minivans to muscle cars and giant RVs, there’s a rental option to suit every taste and journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Documents Required<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can drive in the USA with a valid full UK driving licence. However, it’s important to note that the driving age in the USA varies by state. While most rental companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old, some companies may have an age limit of 25. Be sure to check the specific requirements before booking your car hire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rental car company should provide all the necessary documentation for driving the vehicle safely, including proof of insurance. They’ll also advise you to keep this documentation in a safe place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Car Insurance for British Drivers in the USA<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Car rental companies typically offer basic insurance, but consider additional coverage for peace of mind, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the roads and driving regulations in the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By following these tips and familiarising yourself with the rules of the road, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable driving experience in the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rules of the Road in America<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Driving rules can vary from state to state in America however, there are a few things that are worth bearing in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Like in the UK mobile phone use is banned in most states so it is advisable to only use your mobile using a hands-free device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Each state has its own blood alcohol limit so it is worth double-checking the limit in the states you are visiting before you travel. If ever in doubt the advice is always not to drink and drive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • In most US states it is also prohibited to carry open alcoholic drinks within the car, meaning even passengers cannot consume alcohol. The advice when buying alcohol is to keep the drinks sealed and in a secure location, such as the boot.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • You will find a multitude of toll roads across America. If your car hire includes a satnav, it is easy enough to set the route to avoid toll roads. In fact, you may find this way of travelling lets you see America off the beaten track. In addition given that fuel costs around 40% less in America than it does in the UK, lengthy detours are unlikely to hit your wallet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Different Types of Roads in the USA<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Interstate Roads <\/strong>– are equivalent to the UK\u2019s motorways having a minimum of two lanes in either direction, although many have multiple lanes travelling in the same direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    State Roads<\/strong> \u2013 Are State maintained and can vary from dual-carriageways to single lane highways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    County Roads<\/strong> \u2013 Are controlled at County level so can vary from well-established roads to unpaved roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our Top Tips for Driving in America<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n

    Undertaking isn\u2019t illegal in America, so be prepared for people coming past you on both sides when travelling on large interstate roads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Americans are less disciplined in indicator use than we are in the UK, so don\u2019t be surprised to find people just pulling over without indicating first. Our top advice would be to keep an eye on your mirrors to see what is going on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    You can turn right at traffic lights if the light is on red, as long as there is no oncoming traffic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    In America, there are multiple four-way intersections with no lights. They work on the basis that the first car that arrives gets priority and so on. Sounds like a recipe for disaster but in practice, these junctions work incredibly well and you soon get used to them. Our advice is to approach these junctions with caution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Rules around school buses are particularly strict in America with traffic being required to stop when picking or dropping off passengers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    When parking up on the side of the road you must park facing the direction of traffic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    Traffic can be highly congested in built-up areas, therefore, it is best to give yourself plenty of time when heading out at peak times in cities or towns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Many towns\/cities have dedicated carpool lanes which you can only use if there is more than one person travelling in the car. You risk a fine if you are found to be using these lanes inappropriately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    At most fuel stations you must pay for your fuel before you can start re-fuelling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    International Driving Permit (IDP) While a valid UK licence is sufficient for up to three months, you may consider getting an International Driving Permit (IDP) for longer stays. This can be easily obtained from your local post office in the UK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Car Insurance for Foreign Drivers: In the USA, car rental companies typically offer basic insurance, but consider additional coverage for peace of mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
