Insurance and optional extras

  • Level up your ride with extras like a GPS unit and reverse camera. These add-ons can make your drive more efficient and enjoyable when you rent a car in Groton.

Good to know

  • Generally, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in the United States. Being younger doesn't always disqualify you — just expect some added charges or limits. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before you book.

  • Travelling with kids? Car seat rules vary depending on where you are, and the best setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Make sure you add the right one to your Groton car hire reservation.

  • You'll need some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.

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

  • 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 road signs indicate differently.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United States is 0.08%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.

  • Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run. 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 and expenses here. You may find it useful to carry a mix of cash and cards to ensure you're covered in all situations.

  • English is the language used most widely across the country.
