Add a car seat to your Sioux Falls car hire booking if you're travelling with small kids. Rules change from place to place, but using a child seat suited to their age, size and weight is always the safest way to go.
You'll be asked for some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds for the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.
If it's your first time driving in the United States, don't forget that traffic here keeps 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.
In the United States, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08%. If you're planning to have a drink or two, hand the keys to someone else or arrange a taxi or ride-share instead.
One of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination is around 5pm. Make life easier by steering clear of rush hours in general.
The United States dollar (USD) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day expenses and activities. Pay by card when it's convenient, but have some cash ready for places that don't accept electronic payment.
