Hiring a car is one of the best ways to explore the USA. Many cities and towns in the country have better infrastructure for cars and parking than for public transport. If you are hoping to see as much of the country as possible, road-tripping is one of the best ways to do it. There are a number of well-known road trips, including Route 66 and the Pacific Coast Highway. National parks like Yosemite and the Grand Canyon are generally easier to reach via car instead of waiting for shuttle buses, especially if you're transporting a large amount of luggage.
Driving in the USA is generally similar to the rest of the world. One relatively unique rule is that throughout most of the country (with New York City being the most notable exception), you are allowed to turn right at a red light unless there is a sign stating otherwise. It's still important to come to a stop and check the way is clear beforehand. Toll roads are fairly common throughout the country, and most tolls can be paid with an electronic RFID tag affixed to your dashboard. Car hire companies can usually provide these, and you can usually choose to pay as you go or have the toll costs added to your overall hire cost.
The minimum car hire age varies throughout the USA, depending on each state. However, even when the legal limit is younger, most major car hire companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old before hiring a car and some may require you to be at least 23 years old. If you’re under the age of 25, you’ll generally be subject to a young driver's surcharge and you may be offered a smaller range of vehicle types. If your licence isn't in English, it's a good idea to get an International Driving Permit before you arrive, as some companies may require one. Otherwise, you'll just need a full driving licence and a passport or other photo ID for extra identification.
