The main thing to remember driving in the USA is that they drive on the other side of the road and you would be amazed how often this is easily forgotten when you first arrive in Florida feeling tired and excited.

Once you have received the keys from Budget and found your rental car, make sure you take time to customise yourself with the layout and controls, indicators, windscreen wipers, lights and radio. Make sure the seat is in a comfortable position and adjust the interior and exterior mirrors before setting off.

All cars in the USA are automatic and come with air-conditioning, if in any doubt about the vehicle please ask a representative of the hire company before driving off. If you are not used to driving an automatic remember to put your foot on the brake before putting the car into drive. Only use one foot for operating the accelerator and foot brake pedals, and bear in mind you will not be able to remove the keys from the ignition unless the vehicle is in Park (P)

Many rental cars have automatic door locks when the car reaches a certain speed. If you do not have one of these models it is advisable to lock your doors and do not leave valuables on show in the car or leave children unattended. Children under the age of 5 must sit in a child seat - this is state law and all passengers must wear a seat belt at all times. Failure to comply with these laws will result in a heavy fine.
