Good to know
Generally, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United States. Younger drivers aren't always turned away — just expect some added charges or limits. Check the companies' terms and conditions before you book.
Bringing the kids with you? Car seat regulations vary from one place to another, and the best setup may depend on their weight, height and age. Confirm whether you need to add one to your La Quinta car rental booking.
You'll be asked for a few things when collecting your rental car: a valid driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Your booking will show the full list of what's required.
Spend some time getting acquainted with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in the United States.
Keep within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 40kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United States is 0.08%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the only way to be sure you're safe to drive is to avoid drinking.
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) for everyday expenses on your trip. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cash and cards for more flexibility when paying.
