Touring by Rental Car
Driving in the USA
Exploring America by car is easy. Driving
on the right hand side of the road may be
different, however the roads are excellent, well
sign-posted and spacious. Just remember the
centre line should be by the driver!
Choosing your Rental Car
Take into consideration the size of the vehicle
you require. If the vehicle is to be used for
day touring from a central base, then a
smaller vehicle may be adequate and easier
for parking. If doing longer travel, remember
you will have luggage to transport around as
well as the shopping, so a midsize to larger
vehicle should be considered. We suggest you
book before leaving home, as this will save you
money and ensure that you get the vehicle of
your choice.
Emergency Roadside Assistance
While each vehicle is serviced and cared for individually there may be
an instance that you need some assistance. You can rest assured that in
the USA, Hertz provides Emergency Roadside Assistance 24 hours a day,
365 days a year.
Hertz NeverLost
Hertz NeverLost satellite navigation system is available at a surcharge,
in certain vehicle types at selected airport and downtown locations
across the country. The system has extensive detailed mapping, a wide
easy-to-use full-colour touch-screen that provides access to turn-by-turn
directions to points of interest including hotels and petrol stations,
simply by touching an icon. Ideal for the independent traveller as you
get to see and enjoy your surroundings instead of trying to read a map.
Things to think about:
• • Driving licence requirements

name. Depending on rate type booked, additional taxes, fees and
insurances may also apply at this time
