Good to know

  • Usually, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United States. Some providers still accept younger drivers — just expect some extra fees or restrictions. Check the companies' terms and conditions before booking.

  • Add a car seat to your Elk Grove car rental reservation if you're bringing the kids. Guidelines vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, size and weight is always the safest option.

  • 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.

  • For first-time drivers in the United States, keep in mind that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.

  • Keep within the local speed limits. Usually 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%. 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.

  • Try 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) 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.
