Good to know

  • Add a car seat to your Duluth car hire booking if you're travelling with small kids. Rules change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, weight and age is always the safest choice.

  • You'll need to bring a few things when collecting your rental car: a valid driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card that can cover the security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.

  • Driving in the United States may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Keep in mind traffic flows on the right side of the road.

  • Stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 40kph (25mph) in urban areas and 110kph (70mph) or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.

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

  • Around 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid busy hours generally for a smoother drive.

  • You'll be using the United States dollar (USD) on your trip here. In addition to your credit and debit cards, have some cash on hand for smaller purchases.
