Ask your travel agent whether you need an International Driver's Permit. The renter of any car is liable for all parking and traffic violations both domestically and internationally. Most contracts and insurance policies are void if you have an accident while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Be sure to lock the car and trunk and do not leave valuables in the car. Seat belts should be worn at all times - it's the law in most states.
Most states require car seats for children under four years old.
Advance notice is usually required to reserve a car seat and a small fee may be charged for the rental of these seats. Many car rental firms have cars or vans that are accessible for customers with physical disabilities. Be sure to make arrangements in advance to ensure that an accessible vehicle is available. Most major car rental companies offer free local maps. Plan your route before leaving the car rental lot to minimize the need to ask for directions.
