When to book a rental car in United States

Car hire United States

Location information for United States

United States is best explored by rental car. 121CarHire.com has over 1880 pick-up locations in United States. This means there is always a pick-up location close to your destination.

The USA has something for everyone, from bustling New York City and Los Angeles to the beaches of Florida, the casinos of Las Vegas and the ski resorts of the Rockies. It has an enviable tourist infrastructure and the weather is typically good. Sights are scattered, so car rental in the USA is recommended.

Transport

[transport]

There are international airports right across the USA and myriad flights to all major ones. Flying is the best way to cross the country, too, and there are excellent rail and bus networks. But to truly see the USA, you need to do so from behind the wheel. Vehicle rental and fuel prices are very reasonable.

Car Hire USA

All airports have cars available and you should compare car hire before you travel to pick up the best rates and the right type of vehicle, with most cars here automatic. All major rental companies such as Budget and Sixt are represented at the main airports, and you'll find prices particularly agreeable in Florida.

Driving

The USA has the most comprehensive road network in the world on account of its size and the high number of interstates, turnpikes (toll ways) and big State roads. Cities are large and often best negotiated by car although you should avoid driving during rush hours. Huge distances are the main negative.

Things To See and Do

There are many spectacular drives which can be enjoyed with car hire in the USA, including parts of the Chicago-Los Angeles Historic Route 66 (the ‘Mother Road'), the jaunt from Miami to Key West, the California coast route of Highway 1, and the striking Monument Valley in southern Utah. Intriguing side trips can be undertaken from all cities.

Best Time To Visit

May to June and September are the best times for sightseeing and driving in the USA. It gets hot in the south and the centre in summer, freezing in the north and the Rocky Mountains in winter, and tumultuous in Florida from June to November. Average yearly temperatures for California and Florida are 15°C and 22°C respectively though daily summer highs are in excess of this. The 4th of July and Thanksgiving (late November) are popular events.
