Car Rental & USA tips
The USA is a huge country to explore. It has a mixture of densely-populated urban areas with wide areas of low population and incredible natural beauty. Whether you're looking to soak up the glitz of Las Vegas, the glamour of Hollywood, the unforgettable skyline of Manhattan or the spectacular scenery of the Grand Canyon, hiring a car with Avis gives you the opportunity to explore the USA from coast to coast.
The car was developed in America and it is a country addicted to the motor vehicle. Trains are limited and very infrequent, while Greyhound buses have a mixed reputation depending on who you talk to. If you intend to travel in the US, and see the country as it arguably should be seen, a hire car is essential.
Driving in the USA is relatively easy and stress-free. Remember when driving in the USA to drive on the right hand side of the road. Speed limits are often lower than in the UK and vary greatly by state so be careful when travelling across many states. In cities traffic is slow moving and it’s easy to move between the several lanes of traffic that often occupy main roads. There are no roundabouts in the USA and junctions are usually crossroads with traffic lights. Others indicate right of way in the form of stop signs, and the infamous four-way stop sign junctions require some civilised decision making – whoever reached the junction first gets to go first, and so on.
Petrol (or ‘gas’) is cheap in the USA despite recent price rises and complaints from some Americans. Certainly by British standards filling up a tank is very cheap (although tanks and engine capacities tend to be higher than you may be used to in the UK). Diesel is almost non-existent.
