Good to know

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

  • If you've got the kids in tow, find out if you need to add a child car seat to your Marathon car hire reservation. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to travel.

  • You'll need to show some documents when you pick up your ride. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and additional photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.

  • Take your time getting acquainted with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and turn signals, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in the United States.

  • Local speed limits are often about 40kph through urban areas and around 110kph on highways. Check the road signs, as limits may vary.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in the United States. The most reliable way to be safe to drive is to avoid drinking completely.

  • Try to travel outside high-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 everything you buy throughout your trip. You may find it useful to carry a mix of cash and cards so you're covered for every situation.

  • The language most commonly spoken in this country is English.
