You'll have to provide some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's license, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.

The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United States is 0.08%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, the only way to be certain you're safe to drive is to skip the drinks.

You'll be using the United States dollar (USD) for all your purchases on your trip. You may find it useful to carry a mix of cards and cash for more flexibility when paying.
