You have now collected your car and are ready to set off.  First of all do you know your exact route from the airport to your destination?  If you are unsure, don't set off, speak to one of the Budget staff for help.

Take the time to be familiar with the vehicle you have hired.  If you haven't driven a left hand car before, or driven on the right side of the road, then it can all be a bit daunting.  Coupled with the fact you just are not use to the roads, signs etc.

The most sensible idea is to have a co pilot who knows the route as well as you do, so that the driver can concentrate on driving and looking out for the road signs.

Drivers in the USA can and do undertake (overtake on the inside lane).  This is perfectly legal but can be a bit scary when this first happens to you.

Also, not the speed limits.  All signs are in miles per hour, not kilometres.

Traffic, apart from in large major cities, tends to move along at a steady pace.
