  • Choosing a one-way car rental is often a great hack for finding a deal. Simply click 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often need to move vehicles from one location to another, which means you can snag some awesome one-way prices on a car for rent in Dartmouth.

  • Skip the hidden fees by booking a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Begin and end your trip with a full tank, paying only for what you use.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when collecting your rental car: your physical driver's license, another form of photo ID, and a credit card that can cover the security deposit. Debit cards usually aren't accepted. Any other requirements will be listed in your booking.

  • If you've never driven in the United States, remember that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.

  • Local speed limits may vary, but it's usually around 40kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always go with what's posted on the road signs.

  • One of the busiest times for traffic in this destination is around 5pm. Make life easier by steering clear of rush hours in general.
