Good to know
The minimum age to rent a car in the United States is generally 21 years old. However some providers set their own rules, so always read your rental company's terms to be sure you satisfy the requirements.
Add a car seat to your Salisbury car hire reservation if you're travelling with small kids. Guidelines vary from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, size and weight is always the safest way to travel.
You'll be asked for some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and additional photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.
Driving in the United States may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stick to the right side of the road.
Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 40kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United States is 0.08%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink anything at all.
Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run in general. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the United States dollar (USD) here. Along with your bank cards, consider taking some cash for minor purchases.
