Good to know
You generally have to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in the United States. Younger drivers aren't always turned away — just be prepared for extra fees or rules. Check the companies' terms and conditions before booking.
Add a car seat to your Newark car hire reservation if you're planning to travel with the kids. Rules vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their size and age is always the safest way to travel.
You'll need to show some documents when you pick up your ride. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.
Driving in the United States may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stay on the right side of the road.
Keep 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 doesn't affect all people equally, the only way to be sure you're safe to drive is to avoid drinking.
Around 5pm is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.
You'll be using the United States dollar (USD) for everything you buy throughout your trip. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cash and cards so you always have a backup option.
